Talk:World Wide Web Worm

Disputed?
The article refers to a dispute that WWWW was the first search engine but provides no citations. As WWWW was both established and publicly serving traffic before any other search engines, I'd like to see sources to back up that there is any such dispute.

WWWW and Google?
Did WWWW "become" Google? As I recall (from 15 years ago..) the innovation of Google, which I seem to remember the WWWW also using, was the idea of indexing not just web pages, but also hubs that connected pages - I also recall that at some point there was a Scientific American article about that concept. Is this correct about that algorithm being one of the core ideas of Google, and it originating with the WWWW? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimw338 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * No. There is no relation between the two;  completely different research groups and completely different technologies.  The only similarity is that they were both web search indexes. Thecorbaman (talk) 21:35, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
