Google Backwards

---

The elgooG site emulates Google in every respect, but in reverse. This site puts a literal spin on the concept of mirror site. Most mirror sites replicate their originals in every detail, but elgooG replicates Google as a mirror image. Go to the elgooG page (Figure 15-9) to see what I'm talking about:

www.alltooflat.com/geeky/elgoog/

Figure 15-9: This is not a printing mistake! The elgooG site mirrors Google, literally.

The reversal is thorough. Keywords delivered through this page make no sense to Google unless they're typed backwards. So, to search the keyword internet, you need to type tenretni. Good luck.

The elgooG site carries this conceit through all Google's interface pages - Advanced Search, Preferences, Language Tools, the whole lot. News, Groups, Directory - all backwards. (In the Directory and Google Groups, pages that are at the second level and lower revert to a normal display.) Oh, and search results are reversed, too. When you click any result to leave Google, your screen reverts to its normal display.

Of what possible use is elgooG? The same might be asked of neutrinos - what purpose could they serve? In both cases, science has not yet found an answer.
