I loved Google from the day I used I for the first time. It was definitely love at first search….I was amazed at the simplicity of the idea. At that time , I knew nothing about how a search engine works, who are the founders of Google and how do they sustain themselves financially …..To my eyes , this search engine was nothing less than a social service to the internet users . Well, I am much more knowledgeable about Larry page and Sergey Brin and about goggling in general now . There are numerous sites, forums, chat rooms, communities, blogs dedicated to Google and for quite some time now, Knowledge about Google –the firm and the people behind it is brought out of Googleplex( HQ of Google ) .
Last night I was reading “ The Google story” by David Vice . I want to write about the philosophy with which Google works….In the book Vice narrates that once in Isreal while telling the story of the beginnings of Google to his raving fans, Larry Page said...
"Optimism is important. You have to be a little silly about the goals you are going to set. There is a phrase I learned in college called, 'having a healthy disregard for the impossible.' That is a really good phrase. You should try to do things that most people would not do."
Its so simple…and yet so fantastic .Very much like Google itself. the most striking thing about Google is their simple interface and their motto of "you can earn without any evil". I am reading the Google history since this morning and found this very inspiring piece of info on “ Ten things Google has found to be true” . You need not be an entrepreneur to realize the truth in these 10 commandments Google followed . Here they are:
1. Focus on the user and all else will follow.

So keep Googling ...and enjoy their wide range of new services (including this blog service ).As they themself agree-" Over time we've expanded our view of the range of services we can offer –- web search, for instance, isn't the only way for people to access or use information -– and products that then seemed unlikely are now key aspects of our portfolio. This doesn't mean we've changed our core mission; just that the farther we travel toward achieving it, the more those blurry objects on the horizon come into sharper focus (to be replaced, of course, by more blurry objects)." So what is your take on this mantra...as for me , I just want to say WOW.
