News.com reports that Wharton feels the Google love. Apparently in radio ads they're suggesting that listeners Google for "Wharton West" rather than remember the longer domain name. "We took a calculated risk because we figured out how to get (top billing) in the first place, but we keep monitoring it, and if it changes we have to do something else," [said Neal Nevaras, director of executive programs.] "But why do I pay for it if I don't have to."
Meanwhile, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer the practice of Googling was mentioned. According to plasticbag it was:
Willow: "Have you tried googling her?"
Xander (shocked): "Willow, she's only seventeen!"
As Mark Bernstein points out, she not only appears on Google, but has her own domain.
plasticbag: "And it will be funny."
plasticbag: "Maybe you had to be there..."
MetaFilter: "An example of innovative web design."
W6 Daily: "...this isn't the site..."
