How I met Google…
Wednesday, March 14th, 2007
Back in February, I had just gotten out of a dogpile of a relationship and was feeling totally depressed. It was Valentine’s day and I had no plans, no boyfriend, and not even an e-card to cheer me up. I called up eVite to see what was going on. She told me about this new hangout, Gmail. It had previously been invite only, but just opened up to public. Intrigued by the idea, and tired of watching, The Best of Kelly Ripa on YouTube, I agreed to meet her there the next day.
Saturday night @ Gmail…it was a date. I went out and bought a new domain name for the occasion and everything..I figured it’s what I needed to get myself out of this slump.
Gmail was cool. No cover free. And it’s where all the hipsters hung out. My kinda place.
And that is where I saw HIM for the first time. I couldn’t help but notice Google. He was this colorful figure sitting alone by the door. Several of my friends knew him and I wondered why they hadn’t introduced me before. He was Gore-to-the-Geous! I was instantly struck and did everything I could do to get him to look my way. Nothing worked…until I saw him again a few weeks later. I had gained a few inbound links and gotten my meta tags done..so I was looking pretty good…and it did the trick! He noticed me immediately. He had a super cute pick up line too, “I did a search for a girlfriend..and you were the first one to pop up.”
Totally Dreamy..
