The Alphabet According to Google

With the launch of Google Instant today, we can create an alphabet book for the internet, according to Google that is, just by typing in one letter and seeing what this psychic version of Google search thinks we want.

I must say, most of these are pretty good guesses:

A is for Amazon
B is for Bank of America
C is for craigslist
D is for dictionary
E is for ebay
F is for Facebook
G is for gmail
H is for Hotmail
I is for IMDB
J is for, get this will you, Justin Bieber
K is for Kroger
L is for Lowes
M is for Mapquest (not Google Maps!?)
N is for Netflix
O is for Office Depot
P is for Publix
Q is for quotes
R is for REI
S is for Skype
T is for Target
U is for USPS
V is for Verizon
W is for Walmart
X is for Xbox
Y is for YouTube
Z is for Zappos

Sympathies to Wells Fargo, Home Depot, FedEx, and all the other brands that Google doesn't predict to be at top of mind...
