bobwyman manages to be the first to submit this story, apparently by using his own web service: “Well, the PubSub.com SEC Edgar notification system just sent a message a few minutes ago saying that Google has finally filed their S-1 to go public. See: Google’s S-1 which was accepted by the SEC at 2004-04-29T13:53:49-04:00. If you had had a PubSub.com SEC Edgar subscription, you would have been one of the first to see this filing.”

Go Google! - by CaptainTux (Score: 5, Insightful) Thread
Regardless of how we think Google might change as a result of going public, I think we should at the very least all celebrate the facts that 1) A good tech company can survive, thrive, and even get investor funding in the post dot com bomb world and 2)the creators and employees of Google are finally getting their just rewards. Yeah, they’re going to make a boatload of money and that, of itself, is a very cool thing.

Interesting note… - by B1LL_GAT3Z (Score: 5, Funny) Thread
Did anyone else find it interesting that Google’s Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price is equivalent to e*(10^9)? ($2,718,281,828) I think this is Google’s way of telling us geeks that everything is going to be ‘ok’.

Upcoming Open Source Alternative to Google… - by cybrthng (Score: 5, Informative) Thread
http://www.mozdex.com :)
Search engine built on Open Source technologies and will never have to worry about coming too corporate.
Goal is to use an open api, open algorithm and disclose everything there is about search and search technologies. Will even be launching a blog shortly.
Well, this isn’t about the Google IPO, but it is about an open source project with ambitions to play the game google does without all the corporate mumbo jumbo and no need to IPO.
Index is about 50 million pages during beta but we are about to roll out our 250 million page corpus.
Let us know what you think :)
