Google Top 1000

Google Top 1000 is a list of website who have the number one position at google when you search for the corresponding number. If, for example, you search for the number 42, the number one position is a site on Deep Thought (why not the HHGttG?), so this site would apear in slot 42 of my Google list. I wrote a script to do this, which you can download, but it is very easy to do by hand of course..

Here's the resulting list, the top 12. If you want all, download the file.

1. Mozilla.Org
well, Mozilla is often linked to and they do produce a lot of different versions of their products, all with numbers like 0.9.2.1 or so, so that makes it a good target for any number. And their point oh releases always get some extra web attention.

2. Shreck 2
Not surprisingly a movie got number two, what with all those sequels nowadays. I guess we can only be glad that Scary Movie 2 didn't win.

3. 3Com
Not so weird actually, this company does rule the number three. The British telecom company called '3' still has some way to go.

4. Channel 4
Again not so weird.

5, 6 Microsoft Internet Explorer
Probably the most famous versions of this browser.

7. Netscape
Netscape tried to seem more modern by coming out with a version that sounded more advanced than IE 6.0. At least it got them the 7 slot. Opera is just after Netscape.

8. 8 Mile
I liked that movie. By the way, yesterday I got Super 8 Models for this slot. I like the movie better.

9. Michael Moore
9/11 Fahrenheit must have gotten him this slot. He scored second on 11.

10. Downing Street
The famous number 10.

11. Yahoo! People Search
Why? I guess because in the US enquiries is 411. The page self doesn't contain the number 11.

12. Awesome library on K12
K12 is the twelfth grade of US education.

Other interesting sites in the top 1000 include: 24 for the series 24, Bush in thirty seconds(30), Ufo Mind (51), Windows 95 (95), Office 97 (97), Windows 98 (98), Airbus (380).

Deep Thought @ 42
by Dave Hunt
Deep Thought is actually the name of the computer in HHGttG, so there's no suprise it's at 42.

K12 is actually K-12, it just means kindergarten-12th grade - our (mostly manditory) US school system

0 is Business 2.0

Interesting. I would have presumed it to be some software application, as version numbers usually end with 0

104
by Jenq-Haur Wang
www.104.com.tw is the largest web site for human resources service in Taiwan.
By the way, "104" is the local directory assistance (the yellow page) for looking up telephone numbers in Taiwan.

2. The W3C CSS Validation Service

16. WNEP-TV 16
17. Please give to the Legal Information Institute
18. Disney
19. Article 19

444. 444.net (followed by 444.net - again)
