How to become a Billionaire

If there has ever been a time to become a billionaire and quick, it's now. How ? Make use of the web .The most prominent and visible of course is the World Wide Web, but it could be any of the webs out there. How quick ? In a couple of years. Ever heard of the BackRub ? No ? Ever heard of Larry Page and Sergey Brin ? They invented a search engine called BackRub, later to become Google, it was based on one of the principles of the web. The group knows best. In their legendary paper "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" they explain the concept of Pagerank. Pagerank capitalizes on the democratic structure of the web using the link structure to come to the best result. Basically the page, on a certain subject, linked to by the most people is the most relevant i.e. the group knows best. Larry Page age 33 and Sergey Brin age 32, started in a garage in 1998 and are now listed 26 and 27 with 12.8 and 12.9 Billion on the Forbes list of richest people. More amazingly they outpaced Bill Gates and Paul Allen from Microsoft to acquire those billions.
You can do it too, all you need to do is to understand the web and act on it. Here is a tip. Google doesn't add relevancy in real time. If you figure out how to do that, you can become the next billionaire.
