History

Main article: Google History

The history of the American corporation Google has become a model of success for the Internet company for millions of entrepreneurs of the new economy around the world.

Relations with governments and special services of the countries of the world

Business model

At first glance, it is easy to distinguish an Internet company from an IT company: an IT company develops, promotes and sells IT, "Philippe Carnelli, chief software analyst at PAC UK, writes in his blog. But which of the directions is Google.

It seems that everything is clear here:

  • 94% of Google's 32 billion dollars revenue comes from the sale of advertising on the Internet;
  • operating system Android is open-source and free for phone manufacturers;
  • Chrome browser, search engine, maps and mail client are all free too.

However, if you look from a different angle, then Google is certainly an IT company. According to PAC estimates, up to 20% of all servers in the world work with certain products of the giant. About 40% of the total staff of the company have diplomas in the course of computer science. Another sign of the IT company, Mr. Carnelli considers the high share of sales of IT services for business and government organizations: device search, web mail, scalable platforms, web development, object mapping, web analytics and scalable cloud computing. One striking example that Google is an IT company could be a deal to switch Spanish bank BBVA to Google Apps.

In August 2012, PAC decided to analyze Google's IT-Business structure. Analysts concluded that Google had evolved from both epostases. According to PAC expectations, the giant will continue to expand its commercial part, but at the same time a global network of public information will be created, which anyone can use.

PAC cites Google-created email for business in the cloud as an example. If earlier the cloud was based on mail, then Google reversed this. PAC analysts expect that in the next few years, most organizations, large and small, will abandon mail servers and switch to cloud applications, and most of them will run Google.

The PAC believes the model is likely to be presented as collaborations and social offerings, such as Google +. At the beginning of 2012, there were about 250 million users of this social network. These are potential users of other products of the giant.

And if Google can find a solution for the best use of the social network, mail client and other products for commercial purposes, then this will be a classic IT company.

The PAC believes that Google will be one of the key players in three main areas of IT development over the next five years: big data, social entrepreneurship, cloud application development ("platform as a service," or PaaS).

2020: In the top 50 largest Internet sites in the world

The largest Internet sites in the world for November 2020

The number of active users in 2020 amounted to 4.54 billion people, which is approximately 56% of the planet's inhabitants. In this obra­zom, today every six out of ten people actively use the World Wide Web. Google's search engine accounts for 76% of all searches in the world. Every second, the most popular search siste­ma responds to more than 40 thousand search queries. Google's products and services number more than 1 billion users worldwide, and the number continues to grow. Google sites have the largest customer base with more than chetvert­milliardnoy user audience. As the leading domain of Google contains 74 billion visits a month, it is followed by the YouTube platform acquired in 2006 by a campaign Google from 27 billion visits [[1])..

2018: Top 20 internet giants by size of internet audience

Internet companies by audience size

As of March 2015, Google's assets included:

Advertising business

On June 27, 2018, Google announced the largest rebranding in its advertising business. The company refused to use the names DoubleClick and AdWords, preferring to split its products into three main areas:

Search engine

The leader of Internet search engines, Google occupies more than 60% of the global market, which means that six out of ten people on the network turn to its page in search of information on the Internet. Now it registers about 50 million searches daily and indexes more than 8 billion web pages. Google can find information in more than a hundred languages.

The Google interface contains a rather complex query language that allows you to limit the search scope to individual domains, languages, file types, etc. For example, the search "intitle: Google site: itpedia.ru" will give all the articles of Aitipedia, in the title of which the word [1]Google appears. The full reference book on the language of Google requests in Russian is here, the official reference book in English  is here.

Android operating system

Other services

In addition to the search engine, the site google.com provides many other free services, in particular the popular mail service Google Mail, Google Talk. The most popular among third-party app creators is the Google Maps service. It is this service that leads the way as the basis for integrated applications. While Google charges for access to its services through the API, Google Maps has free service if the hybrid app's site is public and does not charge for services based on Google Maps. Enterprise users can use this service in their intranets or commercial applications.

As part of other Google services, in particular Google Search, you can access Google data through an open API, but subject to payment for every 1000 calls to Google servers.

On June 28, 2007, Google resumed the Q&A service[2] Russia was the first country in the world where Google launched its version of such a service.[3]

On April 8, 2008, Google introduced its new platform for scalable web applications , the Google App Engine. Up until that point, plenty of tech analysts had predicted Google would eventually enter this market, following giants like Amazon. Due to the fact that the basic version of the service (including about 5 million page impressions) is provided to all developers for free, a boom in applications for this platform is predicted soon.

Company offices

One of the premises of the Google office in Zurich (Switzerland)

Google management is famous for its progressive liberalism and loyalty to the expression and individual characteristics of its employees. Therefore, every office, every workplace, every room is decorated in such a way that a person held captive by corporate foundations, plastic partitions and costumed rigor involuntarily has the thought: "How can you work like this?" Google employees are confident that effective work is possible only in the room that is closest to you in spirit. The company's offices have been turned into small lounges. Worked as much as you need - rest as much as you need. The main thing is the result and creative approach to your work. That is why IT specialists from all over the world dream of getting into this even formalized, but still small corner of bliss and joy, where everyone can be themselves. And at the same time receive a decent salary.

Interesting facts about Google

  • 1996: At the time of Google's creation, its founders were not familiar with the principles of site design, which is why this search engine has the cleanest and most enjoyable interface. Due to the main page having little to no design, many users wait for the page to finally load after it is already loaded. To avoid this, the company's management decided to place a copyright at the end of the page.

  • 1990s: Having developed PR ranking technology, the founders of the company decided to sell Google to the search engine company AltaVista, the deal cost $1 million, but the buyer refused, and soon he had to compete with Google. PR ranking technology includes five hundred million variables and more than two billion logic conditions.

  • 2003: In one of the episodes of the popular Japanese anime series Death [4], the main character Yagami Light uses the Gentle search engine, the design of which completely repeats the design of Google.

  • 2005: A species of Madagascar ants Proceratium google was named after the Google Earth service, which helped the discoverer in his research.

  • 2007: The share of plagiarism in the total volume of theses and dissertations that are defended at universities in Western Europe reaches 30%. This figure is given in his study "Google Copy-Paste Syndrome" by the Austrian scientist Stefan Weber. He defines this phenomenon as "a brainless text culture without brains [5]

  • March 2009: Using the Google Earth service in March 2009, Swiss police discovered a huge hemp plantation disguised as a cornfield. And in Canada, with the help of Google Earth, the police found a whole parking lot of stolen cars - there were more than 700 cars on it, listed in the theft. The area where the attackers were holding the cars was discovered when viewing satellite images of the urban area.

  • May 2010: The current official Google logo was designed by Ruth Kedar and has been in effect since May 6, 2010. On the occasion of a holiday or round date of some well-known personality, the standard Google logo for some or, less often, for all regional domains may change to a holiday that has a certain theme, meaning, but in the style of Google (English Holiday and Events - Google style!). For example, on the occasion of Napoleon Horde's birthday on February 11, 2010, watercolors of this famous artist appeared on the logo of the Belarusian domain Google, on July 6 they congratulated Mark Chagall on the 121st anniversary (the logo was in the form of a collage of fragments of his works).
