The Starbucks of the Internet

There’s a guy named Matt who reads my blog regularly and lives on the other side of Washington Square Park from me.  We’ve never met, but we’ve exchanged a bunch of emails lately.

Today, we were having an email conversation about Google and he said that they’d become the "Starbucks of the Internet".  I replied "How So?"  He replied:

…just that they’re on every corner.  It’s like the quote from the
movie Best in Show:  "We met at Starbucks.  Not the same one. They
were kitty corner from one another.  We just noticed each other from
across the street."
