the google story
January 12th, 2007
i’ve just finished reading this intriguing story about how 2 very clever university students came up with a better idea to search the internet, and turned it into the world wide webs most powerful brand. the book covers everything from the tech side of things to how they got funding from early investors right up until their historic ipo.
so, what did i learn – quite a bit actually. the googleplex sounds like one of the most satisfying places to work, a great deal of thought has gone into providing the best possible working environments for it’s googlers. you can type a mathematical equation into the google search engine and it will solve it, for example 16 + 105.
fancinating stuff, not quite as good as ‘boo hoo‘ which was written by the owners point of view – but this is pretty close.
