IIRC Google kinda just appeared on the scene. Worked ok, but didn't
return many results at first.

I think I preferred AltaVista at the time...

I do know that when Google launched there wasn't a huge international
fanfare. It certainly wasn't launched as the "AltaVista killer" or
anything like that.

Perhaps Google launched at a time when organic growth was the norm
rather than the exception... If Wolfram isn't the killer app as
advertised right out of the gate, it'll die a horrible, albeit quick,
death. Marketing can sometimes backfire...
