Google & Me

By Cathy Moran

Birthday_cake-wikimedia FIR009

Google and BankruptcyInBrief share a birthday, I’ve learned.

I’m sure you saw the similarities in a flash.

The Mercury News reports that Google was founded in 1998, the same year I bought a book and set out to make a web site about bankruptcy.

I knew nothing about programming, and less about web design.  But I knew that there was a crying need for sound information about bankruptcy, the options and the opportunities.  And it wasn’t there when I started writing.

Bankruptcy in Brief grew exponentially, just like the Google empire <g>.  Starting with four pages, I kept writing til it was 150 pages.

This site, Bankruptcy Soapbox,  is the loudmouthed cousin to Bankruptcy In Brief, where I can be opinionated, topical, and colloquial about what’s happening in the world of bankruptcy, debt, and  our economy.

It’s all been fun.

But I sure missed the Stanford class that Larry and Sergei took that resulted in Google.

About The Soapbox

You've arrived at the Bankruptcy Soapbox, a resource of bankruptcy information and consumer law.

Soapbox is a companion site to Bankruptcy in Brief, where I try to be largely explanatory and even handed (Note I said "try").

Here, I allow myself to tell stories and express strong opinions on how I think law should work for the consumer and small businesses when it comes to debt.
