8. ROAD MAP FOR GOOGLE
Google Inc.: Larry and Sergey named the search engine they built
“Google,” a play on the word “googol,” the mathematical term for
a 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google Inc. was born in 1998, when
Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check for $100,000 to
that entity which until then didn’t exist.
Out of the office: The first “Google doodle” in 1998 was intended
to let visitors to the homepage know that Google’s minders were
offline at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. There’s now a team
of “doodlers” and they’ve posted more than 1,000 different
doodles on homepages worldwide.
Do-It-Yourself ads: In 2000, we introduced Ad Words, a self-service
program for creating online ad campaigns. Today our
advertising solutions, which include display, mobile and video ads
as well as the simple text ads we introduced more than a decade
ago, help thousands of businesses grow and are successful.
Gmail: no joke: On April Fools' Day in 2004, we launched Gmail.
Our approach to email included features like speedy search, huge
amounts of storage and threaded messages.
Gone public: Our Initial Public Offering of 19,605,052 shares of
Class A common stock took place on Wall Street on August 18,
2004.
9. Location: We acquired digital mapping company Keyhole in
2004, and launched Google Maps and Google Earth in 2005.
Today Maps also features live traffic, transit directions and street-level
imagery, and Earth lets you explore the ocean and the moon.
Broadcast yourself: In 2006, we acquired online video sharing
site YouTube. Today 60 hours of video are uploaded to the site
every minute. Cat videos, citizen journalism, political candidacy
and double rainbows have never been the same.
The little green robot arrives: Amidst rumors of a “Gphone,” we
announced Android—an open platform for mobile devices—and
the Open Handset Alliance, in 2007.
The comic heard ‘round the world : Word got out about Google
Chrome a day ahead of schedule when a comic book introducing
our new open source browser was shipped earlier than planned.
We officially launched on September 2, 2008.
CEO and chairman: Word got out about Google Chrome a day
ahead of schedule when a comic book introducing our new open
source browser was shipped earlier than planned. We officially
launched on September 2, 2008.
Google+ : In June 2011, we introduced the Google+ project, aimed
at bringing the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to the web,
and making all of Google better by including people, their
relationships and their interests.
10. THINGS THEY KNOW TO BE TRUE
They first wrote these “10 things” when Google was just a few years
old. From time to time they revisit this list to see if it still holds true.
They hope it does and you can hold them to that.
Focus on the user and all else will follow.
Since the beginning, they have focused on providing the best user
experience possible. Whether we’re designing a new Internet
browser or a new tweak to the look of the homepage, we take great
care to ensure that they will ultimately serve you, rather than our
own internal goal or bottom line.
Our homepage interface is clear and simple, and pages load
instantly.
Placement in search results is never sold to anyone, and advertising
is not only clearly marked as such, it offers relevant content and is
not distracting.
It’s best to do one thing really, really well.
They do search. With one of the world’s largest research groups
focused exclusively on solving search problems, they know what
they do well, and how they could do it better.
Through continued iteration on difficult problems, they have been
able to solve complex issues and provide continuous improvements
to a service that already makes finding information a fast and
seamless experience for millions of people.
Fast is better than slow.
They know your time is valuable, so when you’re seeking an
answer on the web you want it right away and they aim to please.
They may be the only people in the world who can say our goal is
to have people leave our website as quickly as possible.
11. Democracy on the web works.
Google search works because it relies on the millions of individuals
posting links on websites to help determine which other sites offer
content of value. They assess the importance of every web page using
more than 200 signals and a variety of techniques, including our
patented Page Rank algorithm, which analyzes which sites have been
“voted” to be the best sources of information by other pages across the
web.
You don’t need to be at your desk to need an answer.
The world is increasingly mobile: people want access to information
wherever they are, whenever they need it. They’re pioneering new
technologies and offering new solutions for mobile services that help
people all over the globe to do any number of tasks on their phone, from
checking email and calendar events to watching videos, not to mention
the several different ways to access Google search on a phone
You can make money without doing evil.
Google is a business. The revenue we generate is derived from offering
search technology to companies and from the sale of advertising
displayed on our site and on other sites across the web. Hundreds of
thousands of advertisers worldwide use Ad Words to promote their
products; hundreds of thousands of publishers take advantage of our
Sense program to deliver ads relevant to their site content. To ensure that
we’re ultimately serving all our users (whether they are advertisers or
not), we have a set of guiding principles for our advertising programs
and practices
There’s always more information out there.
Once they’d indexed more of the HTML pages on the Internet than any
other search service, our engineers turned their attention to information
12. that was not as readily accessible. Sometimes it was just a matter of
integrating new databases into search, such as adding a phone number
and address lookup and a business directory. Other efforts required a bit
more creativity, like adding the ability to search news archives, patents,
academic journals, billions of images and millions of books. And our
researchers continue looking into ways to bring the entire world’s
information to people seeking answers.
The need for information crosses all borders.
Our company was founded in California, but our mission is to facilitate
access to information for the entire world, and in every language.
To that end, we have offices in more than 60 countries, maintain more
than 180 Internet domains, and serve more than half of our results to
people living outside the United States.
They offer Google’s search interface in more than 130 languages, offer
people the ability to restrict results to content written in their own
language, and aim to provide the rest of their applications and products
in as many languages and accessible formats as possible.
You can be serious without a suit.
Their founders built Google around the idea that work should be
challenging, and the challenge should be fun. They believe that great,
creative things are more likely to happen with the right company
culture–and that doesn’t just mean lava lamps and rubber balls.
Great just isn’t good enough.
Through innovation and iteration, they aim to take things that work well
and improve upon them in unexpected ways.
13. 7 Secrets of Google’s Epic Organizational
Culture
It’s no surprise that Google has topped the list of Fortune 100’s “Best
Companies to Work for” yet again this year for a grand total of four
times.
Their jaw-dropping company campus Googleplex is enough to make any
professional drool for an opportunity to work for the world’s largest
search engine.
But as much as Google’s headquarters brim with on-site benefits, the
true formula behind their success lies in the intangible:
anorganizational culture that is the paragon for every company across
all industries.
let’s take a look at some 7 secrets of Google’s great organizational
culture :
1. Thorough Hiring Process For The Brightest And The Best
Google receives over 1 million resumes each year, with less than
0.5% of all applicants actually being hired.
2. Making HR Into A Science
Using numbers to maximize the potential of their employees is one
of the things that Google does best
3. Casual, Democratic Atmosphere
Google is what one would call a “flat” company, with smaller
number of middle managers and an upper management that is too
hands-on to be categorized as separate, authority figures.
14. 4. Clear Mission And Values: Why You Do What You Do
Having a clearly articulated mission that is prominently
communicated to all employees cultivates an intentional culture –
an environment where people know why they do what they do, and
love their work all the more for it
5. Practicing Transparency And Open-Door Environment
Companies that value collaboration and encourage transparency
will develop a positive atmosphere in the office that can only make
its people more productive.
6. Employee Recognition For Small And Big Contributions
Recognitions like The Founders’ Award provides incentives for
employees to do the best work they can do, the rewards from
which, paid in the form of Google Stock Units that vest over time,
are pretty enticing.
7. Organizational Culture Boosted By Community Engagement
Outside Of Work
Events like Googlefest provide opportunities for employees to
become involved in community building and training. Promoting
social gatherings in general will allow co-workers to find different
ways to connect with each other aside from the work setting.
