Google1 : RAZ Today we will be talking about Google. Question: Have anyone ever heard of Google?..What is Google? 2: RAZ Facts that will be covered in our presentation are: SLIDES3: RAZ Google is American multinational technology company specializing in internet-related services and products.Google headquarters is in Mountain View, Californiabetter known as the Googleplex.Today Google has more than 70 offices in more than 40 countries around the globe.4:AND THe vision: to make search engine so powerful so they would understand "everything in the world" The Mission: to organize the world information and make it universally accesible and useful The Focus: Google continues to focus on inovation and on the users experience5: AND Their culure is based on the following items :SLIDES (Such as A flat hierarchy no discrimination in hirirng Recreation goes hand in hand with the work6: RAZ History of Google7: RAZ Starts with two students,Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who were persuing there Ph.D. at Standford University,when they got the idea to create a new search engine.It's a known fact that Larry Page and Sergey Brian did not like each other initially. At first they thought they have nothing in common, but as the years have passed they learnt they get along very well and facing with different kind of situation, they went on to become best friends for life. 8: AND Question: Does anyone know how was Google initially named ? Answer:Googol9: AND The name Googol actually came from a graduate student at Stanford named Sean Anderson . Anderson suggested the word googolplex during a brainstorming session ,and Page countered with the shorter googol .Googol is the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes , while googolplex is 1 followed by a googol zeroes.. The name failed when Larry Page and Sergey Brin received their first $100,000 paycheck in the name of Google Inc. and they had to run and create a bank account for the name, so that they could cash it. Therefore, the naming ceremony was nothing but an accident.10: RAZ OK, Lets turn our attention on the things that are present one way or another into our daily live, of course I am talking about the Google products.Question:Do you know how many products Google have on the market right now ?Answer:At the moment there are somewhere around 180 Google products available to the public.Those products can be categorized lik this:11: RAZ Web-mobile-bussines 12: RAZ Media-Geo-Specialized Search13: RAZ Home&Office-Social14 : AND And now well focus on what we considered the most 8 popular and used Google products15: AND Web search Firstly, we will like to talk about web search . Web is a software system that is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The information may be a mix of web pages, images, and other types of files.In recent years, Google seems to have overtaken devices of all types, serving as the default search engine on the most popular web browsers.16: AND Google ChromeThis leads us to our next poit : Google Chrome. Google Chrome is a freeware web browser developed by Google. Is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, easier and it is also the most popular browser for smartphones .Its success has led to Google expanding the 'Chrome' brand name on various other products such as the Chromecast17: RAZ GmailGmail changed the way the world saw email. It gave users unlimited email storage so you never have to delete an email. That was unheard of before the service debuted.As of January 2012 Gmail has 350 million active users.(Gmail launched on April 1, 2004 as an invitation-only beta release. It became available to the general public on February 7, 2007.)18: RAZ Google Maps and Google EarthGoogle Maps changed everything. The service debuted on Feb. 8, 2005. It helps millions of people not get lost and allows explore the world from the comforts of your own home. Street view gets even more personal by letting you to walk down the streets of Paris as if you were there.Google Earth lets you fly anywhere on Earth to view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, from galaxies in outer space to the canyons of the ocean.19: RAZ AndroidWhen Google launched Android in 2007 it was seen as a direct competitor to Apple's iPhone and mobile operating system. Android is based on Linux software and gives users a different way to experience their mobile phones.Even today the mobile operating system directly competes with Apple's mobile products.20: AND Google TranslateGoogle Translate is a free translation tool that supports up to 64 languages. Translations are instant and the service can translate words, sentences and web pages between any combination of the 64 languages.21: AND YouTube YouTube is one of Google's best acquisitions to date. Founded in February 2005, YouTube allows billions of people to discover, watch and share originally-created videos."YouTube, Google Inc's video website, is streaming 4 billion online videos every day, a 25 percent increase in the past eight months, according to the company."22: RAZ Following next, we will talk abou People Behind Google. Google's corporate structure is not particularly unusual .The company is overseen by a board of directors, which passes instructions down through an executive management group. This group oversees several departments such as Engineering, Products, Legal, Finance and Sales. Each of these departments is divided into smaller units. For instance, the Sales department has branches dedicated to the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Despite the use of a standard corporate organizational structure, Google has developed a corporate culture based on giving employees substantial leeway(ro:Libertate) to develop new ideas without excessive oversight.23: RAZ We already talked about 2 of the main owners of the company , the founders: Sergey Brin and Larry Page And now we introduce you to Dr. Eric Emerson Schmidt24:RAZ SLIDES25,26: AND SLIDES{RAZ- Eric Schmidt. In March 2001, Schmidt joined Google's board of directors as chairman, and became the company's CEO in August 2001. At Google, Schmidt shared responsibility for Google's daily operations with founders Page and Brin. Schmidt had responsibilities typically assigned to the CEO of a public company and focused on the management of the vice presidents and the sales organizationAND -Susan Wojcicki, one of the Vice Presidents of the company, has been named the most important Googler you have never heard about. It is a rare tag but a well erved one.AND- Paul T. Buchheit is an American computer programmer and entrepreneur. He is the creator and lead developer of Gmail. He developed the original prototype of Google AdSense . As part of his work on Gmail. He also suggested Google's now-famous company motto "Don't be evil " in a 2000 meeting on company values.}27: RAZ Question: how do you dink its to work at Google? Sometimes it looks as if the true mission at Google is not to help us find things, or even to make money, but to create a master-race of employees. At the Googleplex, if you can demonstrate the right kind of sparky coolness and get hired, the perks are legendary. There are free meals, free haircuts, free bikes, free cars and even free beer and wine on Fridays. (Which sounds suspiciously like a breeding programme.) Currently, and as usual, Google is considered the best company in the US to work for by Fortune magazine. 28: RAZ Larry Page says: The people behind the scene which makes Google the company it is today. We hire people who are smart and diligent, and we prefer the ability over experience. Although Google employees share the same goals and vision for the company, we accept all people from different backgrounds and with a diversity of languages, reflecting the global users we serve. Outside of work, Google employees perform a variety of hobbies, ranging from cycling to beekeeping, from playing frisbee to dance the foxtrot.29:30:31:32: AND SLIDES33: RAZ Want in? It isn't easy.The stringency of Google's job interviews is legendary as well. Luckily, its personnel chief Laszlo Bock has now listed the qualities they look for, in an interview with the New York Times. Before applying for a job at Google, therefore, ask yourself these four questions.34: RAZ Slide35:RAZ Do you have an IQ higher than 130?The worst possible answer here is "Yes." Bock specifically wants "intellectual humility", without which he claims people can't learn. Those who have been clever all their lives often commit, Bock says, "the fundamental attribution error, which is: if something good happens, it's because I'm a genius. If something bad happens, it's because someone's an idiot." Taking IQ tests and remembering the score suggests exactly the wrong combination of self-aggrandisement and insecurity.36: AND What shall we have for dinner this evening?Don't say "I don't mind" or "I'm easy, really" or "What would you like?" or any of that rubbish. If we're going to solve the dinner problem your opinion is required, so stand up and give it. This is the kind of "emergent leadership" that Google want: the willingness to take charge when required, and not take harge when not.37: AND Are you incompetent and lazy?You are? Excellent. Bock wants to hire people who feel "ownership" of the company's projects but also enough "humility" to do only what they usefully can. If you're incompetent, therefore, you're only going to ruin anything you get involved with, so never volunteering is the right call. Clever and active is another successful combination.38: RAZ Do you have a track record of doing something really well?If so, that's a disaster. When faced with a problem, Bock explains that: "The expert will go: 'I've seen this 100 times before; here's what you do.'" A clever novice will usually also solve the problem, and while sometimes they fail this is more than compensated for by the valuable occasions when they solve it in new ways. People are better at things, in short, if they don't know what they're doing.
