3.1 Hacks #36-40
Here's a nice Zen
question for you: is Google a search engine or a technology?
Weird question, huh? Isn't Google just a search
engine? Doesn't it provide the ability to search
several different data collections? Or is it more?
Isn't it a technology that other people can apply to
their own search purposes?
Thanks to the Google API and good old-fashioned ingenuity,
it's easy for third-party developers to take
Google's technology and develop them into
applications that have nothing to do with Google outside of the
application of their technology.
