If Google is God, then what about other internet entities like StumbleUpon or WikiPedia? The latter is something of a static entity, sure; just a literal online encyclopedia, but it can be edited and added to by anyone and is often highest ranked in Google searches anyway. I think a strong case for the former can be made.
Are they minor, lesser deities? Angels?
Thoughts?

Off the top of my head Froogle, the browsers other than IE (ex. Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, etc), were given minor deity status. I think there might be more though.

I think that wikipedia can be considered as some sort of knowledge library or all knowing book of knowledge type thing because it is very trustworthy other than a few minor mishaps with vandalism but those tend to be quickly fixed.

Seeing that Google practically bought it (Google bought Jotspot the company that hosts Wiki) I can see it being something important.

The internet, browsers (-IE) and Google are all part of the trinity, yeah.

I think, that it`s a mistake to see deity as one solid entity.
Rather then trying to adapt a pantheon of deities, I think it`s more reasonable to refer to "modifiable" God.
In this aspect, I have to agree with Hinduism. Deity is one, but it could be addressed in a myriad ways and shapes - directly and indirectly.

The thing is though, that Google is the major deity, all the others are only smaller deities, amounting to figuratively a leg of the major god.
