8 Billion/Firefox start page

There has been talks before of a new Google bot making tours on people's websites. Today we see the result: Google has increased their index site to 8 Billion pages. But then you already knew that...

Okay, for those who have installed Firefox 1.0, you probably noticed that the new Firefox start page is actually a special Google page. The decision to include a new star page was made after a survey done by Mozillazine found out that a lot of Firefox users have a blank home page (nothing beats the simplicity and loading time of about:blank, i guess). The new start page is heaven sent. I was having a dilemma on what to set as a homepage for Firefox: a firefox-related page which will raise awareness of the product, or Google (no explanation neccessary). Now the mozilla start page rocks.

Actually, the more interesting part of it is what conspiracy theories people could come up with on a possible Google-Firefox relationship. Okay, i know a similar(ish) page exists for ie, google.com/ie , but hey, Conspiracies are cooler, and c'mon, don't tell me that the geek in you didn't almost pee in his pants at the sight of those three words beatifully juxtaposed: Google-Firefox relationship... brrrr
