The New Alphabet Song: A is for Amazon, B is for Best Buy…

Searching on google.com I realized that the google suggest feature has created a new alphabet song. Very different from the days of “A,” you’re adorable, “B,” you’re so beautiful… and it is created and changed by us every time we search.

Google Suggest Alphabet (Nov 2008)

A = amazon
B = bebo
C = craigslist
D = dictionary
E =


F = facebook
G = google
H = hotmail
I = imdb
J = jennifer hudson
K = kohls
L = lowes
M = myspace
N = next
O = obama
P = photobucket
Q = quotes
R = runescape
S = sarah palin
T = target
U = utube
V = verizon wireless
W = wikipedia
X = x factor
Y = youtube
Z = zip codes

The thing that really amazed me was when I checked the google suggest again recently (February 13) how much had already changed.

The major change is the rise of retail to 36% of the total: best buy, jcpenney, sears, walmart and zappos join amazon, kohls, lowes and target on the list. The only retailer to fall off the list is Nex, replaced by nfl which is probably due to the superbowl and xbox 360. There is now only one person on the list (Obama of course) down from 3 with the replacement of sarah palin and jennifer hudson. The most suprising change for me was the fall of wikipedia to walmart which really shows the economic climate and maybe that zip codes has been replaced by internet darling Zappos.

Speaking of alphabets – the way this article is written is pretty funny.
