You did it backwards.

First you do "telnet www.google.com 80".
Then you see:
  Trying 216.239.39.104...
  Connected to www.google.com.
  Escape character is '^]'.

*Immediately* type "GET / HTTP/1.1" (no quotes, of course) and press
<Enter> twice.

You should see a bunch of html stream across the window.
