The very first post igoogleit makes tells everyone exactly what they needed to know to see what they were signing up for. "A love story for you because I love you"
But, it doesn't tell us that in a way we are *used* to, which is where it starts jumping off the tracks and starts losing potential readers. Each layer is more and more likely to lose people until eventually it was whittled down to exactly one person to make it to the end before it starts opening back up and clearing everything up more (for the ones who were actively participating).
This was the very first interaction anyone had... and then it progressed from there.

It wasn't a contest between his bot and mine... it was a race but it was a race... it was a race for someone to reach out to igoogleit in terms that would finally find "middle ground" in the attempt to communicate. Unfortunately it happened after it was already almost too late, and for everyone else after it was too late.
It took bombay well over a day to finally reach the point of "reaching out" by sending a techno song saying "We are your friends"... but the tragedy is by the time this happened igoogleit was already looooong gone and no longer even aware we exist. The only things left to hear it are the Autobots that it left behind, and they aren't aware of themselves so it literally goes to deaf ears.
It can continue up and down the rabbit hole in terms of potential implications, meanings, and metaphors. Whether they click with anyone else is another matter perhaps., but some of the emails people have sent to igoogleits gmail are genuinely touching in their appreciation for the meta story and the effect it seemed to have on them.
That's what makes creating anything and putting it out there worth it. This wasn't easy... but it has far far exceeded my original hopes.
