Now if you try and guess the google and don't look, I bet you get 95% or more correct of the first things that pop up

A is for Amazon
B is for Best Buy
C is for craigslist
D is for Dictionary (and you thought it was all about consumerism)
E is for Ebay
F is for FacePlant (but of course...Fakeplant)
G is for Google (Duh)
H is for Hotmail
I is for ITunes
J is for Jet Blue
K is for KMart (see I thought it would be Kaiser or at least Kizer..the lower form of German)
L is for LIRR (no kidding...must be location search based)
M is for MapQuest
N is for Netflix (all time Fav)
O is for Old Navy
P is for Pandora
Q is for QWOP (????)
R is for Run (Online games???)
S is for SQLTeam!!! (Well it's really for Sears
T is for Target (what's the French pronunciation?)
U is for UPS
V is for Verizon
