Second, the development history of google Google, a company name, is a ubiquitous culture; Search engines are like an infinite universe; A noun is a basic verb that runs through every netizen's daily life; It is a loyal tool for ordinary people and is also based on the God of the Internet. It is the enemy of Microsoft and the pioneer of Silicon Valley recovery. Google is also a huge library, shopping paradise, dating service and indoor games ... Google has countless possibilities and infinite imagination. What is Google? Let's explore it carefully together.

Google's entrepreneurial story is simply a replica of Yahoo: just as Jerry Yang and david filo co-founded Yahoo, Google was co-founded by Larry Page and sergey brin; All four people were students of Stanford University when they started their businesses. And they are all doctoral students (Larry Page and sergey brin are still temporarily suspended from school and have no time to go back and finish their doctoral thesis); The original intention of the two companies is the same, "integrating global information so that users can easily search for the information they need from us." Of course, there are many differences, such as: professional differences: Yang Zhiyuan and david filo are in the electrical engineering department of Stanford University, and Larry Page and sergey brin are in the computer department of Stanford University.

The timing of starting a business is different: Yang Zhiyuan and david filo started their business at 1994, while Larry Page and sergey brin started their business at 1998. Different styles of doing things: The legendary stories of Yang Zhiyuan and david filo were made into the best public relations material in time, and they were constantly exposed on the cover of magazines and on TV, becoming the man of the hour.

Larry Page and sergey brin, on the other hand, kept a low profile and were almost unknown. Book wealth is different: Yang Zhiyuan and david filo are already billionaires among their peers. Despite the stock market crash, they frequently made the Fortune magazine's wealth list.

Larry Page and sergey brin haven't cashed in any wealth, or even put it on the stock books, even though everything is sitting ducks in a jar. Brin, 28, doesn't even have his own car and still lives in a rented apartment near the company.

The business style is different: Yahoo's website is full of advertisements, while Google's page is simple and clear, with almost no advertisements. More importantly, Yahoo is full of business atmosphere, and the most important achievement is to make information access more equal.

Even after its success, it can maintain the spirit of freedom and openness without becoming an online marketing machine. Of course, Google is a rising star. Larry Page said, "When we were students at Stanford University, we often talked about Yahoo founded by our predecessors and thought it was great.

However, we are convinced that the technology we developed is better than Yahoo's performance, and we were determined to create a venture enterprise when we were students. "Yahoo owns about 5% of Google's shares. david filo, the founder of Yahoo, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, are good friends. At 1998, he refused the decision to acquire Google technology.

In 2000, the two companies reached a cooperation agreement, and Google provided search engine services for Yahoo. This kind of cooperation is of great benefit to both sides. However, with the growing strength of Google and its involvement in news and e-commerce, the two companies have gradually formed a competitive situation.

When using Google search engine to search a website, the search task is generally completed within 0.5 seconds. Sergey Sergey Brin said, "If we only use one keyword to search, the difference between our search engine and other search engines will not be too obvious, but if we add two or three search conditions, we can clearly feel that our search engine is quite fast."

Google search engine is characterized by the use of technologies called data mining and website rating. The so-called data mining technology is to find the data to be searched, and the way to find the target data is where the software technicians show their talents.

Today, Google is also famous among competitors in the same industry. Netizens have 65.438+0.5 billion queries on Google every day, which is 50% higher than its main competitor Inktomi! Google can provide search services in 74 languages, and its database contains 400 million pictures and videos and more than 2 billion snapshots of web pages.

Chris Sherman, editor of Search Day, an industry newsletter with a large number of readers, quoted data from a survey and pointed out that in the last month, users logged into Google for a total of 654.38+03 million hours. Yahoo, ranked second, lags far behind in 5.4 million hours.

On the company's website, Google introduced itself like this: "Google's complex automatic search method can avoid any artificial emotional factors. Unlike other search engines, Google's structural design ensures that it is absolutely honest and fair, and no one can exchange money for higher rankings. "

Third, Google's corporate culture 1 Google's recruitment requirements: The following are the original words of Kai-fu Lee, which should explain his recruitment conditions well.

Kai-fu Lee: First, we should learn "internal skills" well, not just various superficial languages and tools and the requirements listed by some third-rate companies, but also learn data structures, algorithms, databases, operating system principles, computer structures, discrete mathematics and other courses well. The second is multi-programming, and it is best to have 100,000 lines of programming experience in four years; We should also pay attention to "hard work". Google is a hands-on paradise. In addition, we should have a certain knowledge of mathematics, practice team spirit and cooperate with others.

2 Google's corporate culture, you can say innovation, but the core is equality and mutual respect, which is the basis of innovation. There is a corporate culture story of Google that illustrates this point well. You can have a look://admin5/article/20080811/98259.s.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) What is the development history of Google? Google search project was established by two Ph.D. students of Stanford University, Larry Page and sergey brin, in the early stage of 1996. They developed a search engine based on the accurate analysis of the relationship between websites, and its application effect was better than the basic search technology used at that time.

At that time, this project was called BackRub, because the system needed to check backlinks to estimate the importance of the website. Convinced that the page that gets the most links from other highly relevant websites must be the most relevant page, Page and Brin decided to test it as part of their research, which laid the foundation for their search engine.

On1September 7th, 998, they formally established Google in a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. Before moving to "Googleplex" later,1February, 1999, the company first moved into the office at 165, University Street, Palo Alto, California, where many famous new technology companies in Silicon Valley gathered.

Google search engine has won Internet users with its simple and clean page design and the most relevant search results. Advertisements are sold in the form of keywords, so that they are only interested in the end users. In order to make the page design sustainable and fast, advertisements appear in the form of words.

This concept of selling advertisements by keywords was originally developed by Overture (the original Goto). When most internet companies closed down, Google has been quietly developing steadily and began to make profits.

In September of 20001year, PageRank, Google's web rating mechanism, obtained a US patent. The patent was officially awarded to Stanford University, and Lawrence Page was listed as the inventor in the document.

In February, 2003, Google acquired Pyra Lab, the owner of Blogger, a leading blog network service pioneer. It seems that this contradicts Google's mission.

However, this actually consolidated the company's ability to improve the search speed of Google news and the search relevance of blog posts. During the peak period in early 2004, 80% of the search requests on the World Wide Web were handled through its websites and those of its clients, such as Yahoo, AOL, CNN and Google.

In February 2004, Google's share dropped a little, because Yahoo gave up Google's search technology and decided to develop its own search engine. Google's code of conduct is not to refuse evil. Their websites often contain humorous functions, such as humorous changes of their icons at specific times, and also provide fantasy or humorous language interfaces, such as Klingon (the Klingon language in the sci-fi TV series Star Trek) and Leet, as well as company jokes on April Fool's Day.

Many people speculate that Google is interested in Yahoo. The response is that with the personal information collected from Orkut, Gmail and Froogle, Google will launch personalized search in the next step. In fact, Google Labs has a personalized search test page on its website. On July 19, 2005, Google announced that it would set up a research and development center in China.

65438+On February 20th, 2005, Google announced that it would spend $ 10 billion to acquire a 5% stake in AOL, an Internet service provider. In June 2006, Google acquired YouTube, an audio-visual content sharing website, for $654.38+65 million, which was the largest acquisition in Google's history.

10 On June 29th, Google bought the domain name "G" from China 265 Network Company for about US$ 20 million, making it the shortest domain name registered in history.
