The site, in 2005
Google's search engine for the full text of books and magazines, scanned from library shelves and supplied by publishers.
Scanned pages are read by OCR so every word can be searched. By October 2019 Google had scanned more than 40 million titles. A long copyright fight, Authors Guild v. Google, was decided in Google's favour.
In 2005: Authors and publishers objected to the library scanning, so in August Google offered copyright owners an opt-out.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
