| FASCINATING Facts You Never Knew About GOOGLE! |
For those of you that are young, there was actually once a time when you had to physically go into a
big dusty building called a Library and actually open books to get information which was already outdated.
But today, we have the worlds information at our fingertips and almost all of us use Google every single day. Well, some of us use Bing. But have you ever wondered how Google came to be?
Well, in this Facts In Five, I'm going to explain everything that you need to to know about Google. The story of Google and how it works is an incredible one that I wanna share with you, right now.
So, without further a due this is weird facts, all about Google.
What is Google?
Google Incorporated is a multinational technology company, which specializes in internet related services and products. Which, is just a fancy way of saying Google does a lot of internety stuff.
The subsidiary of the parent company Alphabet, as of December 2013, it was officially named the most visited website on the planet.
Most of Google's money is made through advertisements displayed by search results, a system the company calls, Adwords. Other website owners and us Youtubers can take advantage of Adwords by allowing Google to place ads on the pages and content, likely, before this video there was a pre-roll ad
or there is an ad on the side of your screen right now, or one that just popped up, that's all from Adwords.
Who created Google?
In 1995, Larry Page, a graduate from the University of Michigan was considering Stanford as a follow up school. There, Stanford student, Sergey Brin, was a scientist showing him around and the two fast became friends.
Destine to create the most famous website on earth. Originally the search engine was called Backrub and it operated strictly on Stanford servers for the first year of it's life but of course the bandwidth soon became way too much. And on September 15th of 1997, Google dot com was registered.
The site was named after Google, a term in mathematics that represents one followed by 100 zeroes and signifies Larry's and Sergey's goal of organizing a seemingly endless amount of online information,
which sounds impossible except they're pretty much doing it.
Where is Google?
Though it's main head quarters is a colossal facility in Mountain View California, Google lives in over a million servers housed in data centers around the globe. In 2009 the search engine recorded over one billion searches conducted everyday. Greatly surpassing every other search engine in existence. Additionally, Google has been inquiring more than one company per week since 2010 and increasing both it's size and the amazing things the corporation can both achieve and offer their dedicated users.
Today, Google is not only a household name, it is literally a synonym for search. So, in a way, to answer the question, where's Google, it's not an exaggeration to say "everywhere!"
When is Google useful?
You may not know this but Google is useful for a number of things, way beyond, what the company advertises.
For instance, Google search can be used for your alarm clock! Yeah, that's right! You can activate it by typing in the number of minutes before you'd like an alarm followed by the word timer, try it. With Google Earth, you can fly a virtual plane through the scenery by hitting ctrl alt and A. And, with the zoom feature you can adjust the map to see live cloud coverage.
Also, believe it or not, you can actually use Google to plan your wedding!
In all of that is literally just the tip of the iceberg.
Why is Google so great?
In addition to being the most famous and arguably the most successful website in history, Google also,
just might be the greatest company too. So many wonderful stories come from Google's employees who simply love their jobs. There are many stories from them that brag about how well they're treated.
In fact, should an employee meet their untimely end while working for Google, 50 percent of their annual salary will go to their spouse or domestic partner for the following 10 years.
And Google also promotes a healthy lifestyle offering their employees multiple gourmet eating options right on site. With the incredible opportunities that they provide and the fact that they clearly care about their employees, Google has one hell of a head start on any of their competition for the best place to work.
Of course, Apple's up there too but I don't want to start a flame war in the comments. "Apple's better!"
"Google's better!" It's just-- It's gonna happen anyway, isn't it.
