Google deserves your nomination
Google was the first search engine to use a cookie that expires in 2038. This was at a time when federal websites were prohibited from using persistent cookies altogether. Now it's years later, and immortal cookies are commonplace among search engines; Google set the standard because no one bothered to challenge them. This cookie places a unique ID number on your hard disk. Anytime you land on a Google page, you get a Google cookie if you don't already have one. If you have one, they read and record your unique ID number.

Google Dance - The Index Update of the Google Search Engine
The name "Google Dance" is often used to describe the index update of the Google search engine. Google's index update occurs on average once per month. It can be identified by significant movement in search results and especially by Google's cache of all indexed pages reflecting the status of Google's last spidering.

Searching in Two Directions
Yahoo goes broad, while Google sticks to its roots. Question No. 1: What's the most useful site on the Web? It's Google.com, usually the fastest and most reliable route between question and Net-based answer. I asked 65 colleagues whether they agreed: 51 told me they visited Google at least once every business day, and 13 of them reported that they had made Google the homepage on their Web browser. It's that useful.

Ga-ga over Google

Google Information for Webmasters
Search Engine Optimizers SEO is an abbreviation for "search engine optimizer." Many SEOs provide useful services for website owners, from writing copy to giving advice on site architecture and helping to find relevant directories to which a site can be submitted. However, there are a few unethical SEOs who have given the industry a black eye through their overly aggressive marketing efforts and their attempts to unfairly manipulate search engine results.
Once again, Google shows what a great company can and should do for its customers (even the ones that aren't paying).
