While listening to a podcast of an
IT Converstations
interview with Tim O’Reilly,
I heard him mention that the OReilly.com website is the first listing on Google when you search for the single letter O (I thought it would be Ogasawara :-).
So, what are the rest of the single alphabet character first listngs?
The list is posted below for your to peruse.
Many of the first listings are NYSE stock ticker symbols.
A couple of co-first listings occur because Google provides a non-web-linked first hit for some mathematical constants.
And, there are a few amusing web sites in the lists too.
As an added bonus, I searched for the first listings based on the single digit numerals 0 through 9.
Enjoy!
