What is Google?
What’s a Google?"Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Main business is search engine, searching for terms and displaying relevant links of websitesGoogle has gotten into software development with its large number of free products like Google docs, google talk, Google earth.Storage of media : collection of personal data and online copies of booksAggregator: aggregator is able to check for new content at user-determined intervals and retrieve the update aka RSS feeds. such as updates about latest news
  • #8 Google is increasingly trying to &quot;to organize the world&apos;s information and make it universally accessible and useful“.Keeps track of user search trends and refines the searches accordingly on future use3) Data confidentiality: Will government share its confidential data with Google. Guarantee of data security from hackers and virus attacks4) Too much dependency on Google on data storage and content provider
  • #10 1) Allows companies to choose search terms which on users queering and Google displays these ads in the Google search page. It generates revenue per click on such ads.
  • #13 DoubleClick offers technology products and services that are sold primarily to advertising agencies and media companies to allow clients to traffic, target, deliver, and report on their interactive advertising campaigns.

  • #14 1) Google Reader: Is a Web-based aggregator capable of reading Atomand RSS  feeds online or offline
  • #15 AdWords is Google&apos;s program through which advertisers purchase terms (orkeywords). When entered as a search term, the keyword triggers the appearance ofthe advertiser&apos;s ad and link. An advertiser&apos;s purchase of a particular t advertiser&apos;s ad and link to be displayed on the user&apos;s screen whenever a searcher launches a Google search based on the purchased search term. Advertisers pay Google based on the number of times Internet users “click” on the advertisement, so as to link to the advertiser&apos;s website.124 …In addition to Adwords, Google also employs Keyword Suggestion Tool, aprogram that recommends keywords to advertisers to be purchased. The program isdesigned to improve the effectiveness of advertising by helping advertisers identifykeywords related to their area of commerce, resulting in the placement of their adsbefore users who are likely to be responsive to it. … Once an advertiser buys aparticular keyword, Google links the keyword to that advertiser&apos;s advertisement.The advertisements consist of a combination of content and a link to the advertiser&apos;swebpage. Google displays these advertisements on the search result page either inthe right margin or in a horizontal band immediately above the column ofrelevance-based search results. These advertisements are generally associated witha label, which says “sponsored link.” …erm causes the
  • #16 By providing free products, Google reinforces its name as an Internet destination and resource.Some of these services also deliver behavioral advertising. But others have no direct revenue.From a business strategy, these free products are less expensive to develop and deliver than thecomparable amount of direct advertising. Moreover, direct advertising is not friendly, so theGoogle app strategy makes sense from its corporate agenda.3)from its traditional approach of associating its name with every ad sold on behalf of its various advertising businesses
  • #17 Originally Google had considered acquiring Facebook (Facebook&apos;s executives not interested). Facebook was more than a fast-growing social network. It was, potentially, an enormous source of personal data. Internet users behaved differently on Facebook than anywhere else online: They used their real names, connected with their real friends, linked to their real email addresses, and shared their real thoughts, tastes, and news. Google, on the other hand, knew relatively little about most of its users other than their search histories and some browsing activity.Facebook has strong independent developers who make use of facebook as a platform to run other apps e.g. online games mafia wars etc Apple and Google who earlier collaborated together have now turned rivals with google even entering the mobile market arena with Nexus one posing a threat to apple’s iphone With apple and google turning competitors the CEO of Google Eric Schidt who was also part of the board of directors of apple had to step down due to conflicting interests of both companies

  • #19 An attempt to rule the web?Speed? Finally High speed processors becoming relevant for lay man?“Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We&apos;re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don&apos;t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work.”
  • #21 Google Wave:  It is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instantmessaging, wikis, and social networking.Self cannibalization : May affect adversely other google products
  • #22 1) the broadcaster displays content free to the consumer but surrounded with advertising. Fromthis perspective, YouTube is no different from CBS, Yahoo or web search.2) One year earlier, Google acquiredYouTube for $1.65 billion.19 In the three years since the acquisition, YouTube continues to losemoney and has started a transition from user-generated content to content provided by thetraditional movie and television studios.20 Along the way, of course, it embroiled itself in a billiondollar lawsuit with those same content producers over the unauthorized posting of film andtelevision content by YouTube users.

Theadvantages they offer are storage and portability; Google said it is launching a special mobile application for Buzz, as well as weaving Buzz technology into the mobile versions of its flagship Web site and its maps products.
  • #32 Looking at the wide array of products and services, one can wonder whether Google still has afocus. Perhaps Google is treading the path of IBM, growing too diffuse, risking antitrust problemsand thrashing in the market without a clear direction. IBM reinvented itself as a service company,but only after fighting a twenty-year antitrust investigation, launching competitors like Microsoft,and losing the PC market it had created. Or perhaps Google is following in Microsoft’s footsteps,becoming the very company its founders most despised; shifting from innovator to aggregator ofinnovation, acquiring its market share rather than innovating its growth, and struggling to extendits powerful brand into fields in which it has neither presence nor expertise.13 Or perhaps themantra of “don’t be evil” will help it chart a third course, which enables it to remain the darling ofthe public and the stockholders alike.
  • #33 Social CurationBuzz also wants to differentiate itself another way: social curation .The social web right now is largely a mess. There’s simply too much going on, and no one is really working to sort it all out. Google is trying to do that with Buzz by allowing you to import items from services like Twitter, but only show you the best ones. For example, Google says it will hide quick messages like “brb.” The plan is to also auto-collapse items that don’t have a lot of comment activity.
  • #34 Search trends at Google: Too many people are out of work, and the fear of unemployment is changing the behavior of millions more. In the fall, searches related to back-to-school shopping and holiday travel bookings peaked weeks later than usual, as families put off spending as long as possible. At the same time, queries for payday loans have gone up a third in the past two years. Reads: Carr, Nicholas. (2008). “Is Google Making us Stupid?”, Atlantic.com.

Tarcher/PenguinCarr argues that our brain has adapted to the way Google present information to us. Instead of reading in depth books and articles, we now scan literature quickly to find what we are looking for. Do you agree with Carr? Or do you think it’s the other way around?By having all sorts of information accessible, we get to it easier; hence, we learn more?Can the accessible information indeed wipe out some of the differences between those with a university degree, scholars and so on and people with no higher education?
  • #35 Providing satellite imagery data to tropical nations of the world who do not have the technological proficiency to accurately monitor and report the state of their forests over time, so that UN can provide financial incentives to rainforest nations to protect their forestsGoogle has filed a patent to deploying the supercomputers necessary to operate its Internet search engines on barges anchored up to 11 km offshore. The “water-based data centres” would use wave energy to power and cool their computers, reducing Google’s costs. Their offshore status would also mean the company would no longer have to pay property taxes on its data centres, which are sited across the world.Google is trying to reduce its carbon footprint by aggressively pursue reductions in our energy consumption through energy efficiency, innovative infrastructure design and operations and on-site renewable energy. Our Google designed data centers use half the energy of typical facilities. We&apos;re also working to accelerate the development of economic, clean renewable energy at scale through research and development, investment and policy outreach. At this time, however, such efforts don&apos;t cover our entire carbon footprint. Therefore, since 2007 we&apos;ve gone a step further and made a voluntary commitment to buy carbon offsets to cover the portion of our footprint that we cannot yet eliminate
