ElgooG
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is elgooG. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
elgooG is a mirror image version of the Google search engine. The search page and all results are displayed in reverse. The site is called the "google mirror" as a parody of the term mirror in computing, which usually refers to a copy or backup of another website. The site was created by a group called All Too Flat, who put up various comedy and satire pages on their website. Google was not involved in the creation of elgooG.
New Scientist Magazine reported in December 2002 that the site had become popular in China, where the authorities prevented locals from accessing the normal Google web site. As the page doesn't support Chinese coding, however, such users were restricted to pages in languages that use the Latin alphabet. China has since lifted the ban on Google [1].
