Google IS the Internet. Well, it's not true, but it certainly feels that way quite often. Perhaps it's a deserved title with services (on top of their search) like GMail, Google Video, Google Desktop Search, Picasa, Froogle, Google Maps, Google Local, and the list goes on and on. All free, almost all great.
