Google...

On 20th of November during class time we watched a video about the “Google” organization which was quite interesting. Two friends; Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed this new approach to online search which quickly spread around world and now it is widely recognized as the world's largest search engine. From the video, it can be understood that Google enables its people with;

- easy to research
- the search engine available in many languages
- additionally, provides programs for the users apart from the search engine such as Google Earth, Google Map, Google Video and Picasa.
- kept data collection of all users

Moreover, Google makes money from the clicks and advertisements. By this way they generate profits in the great amounts.

Ten years ago, I remember myself in school lab or in the library searching for some information while talking with friends about which search engines where they were only www.yahoo.com and www.altavista.com . It was not this easy like today to find information in Google because they were new and they did not have the all documents and we always helped each other by telling which one has the which information. I also remember that sometimes we ended our researches without any information. If this fact is compared to Google according to its developed search engine, it can be seen how the search engines developed up to today and how they are different now with the new developments they have got. Finally, I do not even remember when Google came to my life and when I started to use it. I feel like, I was using it all the time doing my work in everyday life as well as using its other features. I think it is because of its online strength and the power of strategy used in the online web which is really effective in all world to all internet users.
