A Geek’s Kiss of Approval

By Roba Assi

I never watch movie award shows because I’d rather Google my life away than go to the movies, so with all the Oscar talk in town, I’m pretty much the lost person who has never heard of most of the movies people are discussing.

So imagine my pleasure when I came upon Google rolling it’s award acceptance-speech, because it was just awarded the “2006 Best Product: Information Management” in Network Worlds Best Products Issue!

Network World gave the search tool 4.35 out of 5 points, saying that it is both easy to configure and maintain. He also liked it because of the underlying, highly accurate, crawler-driven engine, which is capable of indexing 220 types of content.

Other people on the award list include HP, Cisco, and Symantec. Check out all the winners here.
