I went through this silly, letter-by-letter exercise several weeks ago, and forgot all about it until just now.

For no reason apart from curiosity fortified by idle time, I went through the alphabet, entering only a single letter into the search box, and noted the first resulting searchable item that was automatically generated from each of the 26.

A pretty revealing, if not altogether uplifting reflection of the collective online zeitgeist. That said, I was terribly pleased by the results for the letters “d” and “p.”With that, I present the Google Auto-fill Alphabet:

a is for amazon
b is for bank of america
c is for craigslist
d is for dictionary.com
e is for ebay
f is for facebook
g is for gmail
h is for hotmail
i is for ikea
j is for jet blue
k is for kohl’s
l is for lowe’s
m is for myspace
n is for netflix
o is for orbitz
p is for pandora
q is for quotes
r is for realtor.com
s is for southwest airlines
t is for target
u is for usps
v is for verizon wireless
w is for walmart
x is for xm radio
y is for youtube
z is for zillow
