C has a pretty good excuse with being around before the web, universally available search engines and all but I still cannot grok what made the go designers choose that name.
Its as if the respective authors have desire of not being used/searched/found.

You guys do know that you can use more than one word at a time with Google, right? I mean, you can type "programming language go" and ... amazing! ... first hit.

In 1984 Knuth reported in an article about his Pascal program(PDF):I chose the name WEB partly because it was one of the few three-letter words of English that hadn’t already been applied to computers.

And he was right! At the time. If he could look twenty years forward I think he might perhaps have chosen another name, *any* other name. :)
