The third part of my mini-series is done, and--for being on Patreon--you get first look at it before it's released tomorrow. In part 1 we looked at the early days of the World Wide Web and Netscape. Part 2 is how AOL brought the web into every home in the country. This third part is how the internet was taken to the next level through search: specifically, Google.This is a pretty interesting story that looks back at the early days of this now trillion-dollar company.I look at what led to the name "Google" to be used, and all the companies that had the chance to buy them for next to nothing: but passed.Then, there's the story of how Google could have been twice as big. They actually beat Facebook to the punch for social networking: but dropped the ball.You can listen here in the browser, or download the M3P.Enjoy!-Jamie
