The two founders of Google met in 1995 in Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Larry Page described Google as “the perfect search engine that understands exactly what you mean and gives you back exactly what you want”(Google,2012).
According to Farfan (2014) Google signed the official incorporation papers in California, September 4, 1998. Before the corporation began, Larry and Sergy collaborated on a search engine for the colleges’ servers called “BackRub,” whom decided to develop the search engine further, renaming their creation “Google.” Page and Brinn received their first $100,000 investment check, and set up an office within a garage in Menlo Park (Farfan,2014).
One of the primary ways of revenue is by delivering online advertising. The company took one billion dollars in advertising in 2003 with profit margins of thirty percent (Caufield, 2005). Currently, Google provides more than 200 million searches per day (2005).

Google's founders posted ten company philosophies; one of which claimed that "you can make money without doing evil"(Google, 2012). Their advertising service displays are not flashy; they don’t lead to any ads, and do not compromise such integrity of searching. Google have offices in over sixty countries, one hundred eighty internet domains, and searches in more than one hundred thirty languages (2012).
Therefore Google brings a library value to the internet. According to Caulfield (2005), the basic outline of the PageRank search method was created in early 1998, but the infusion of venture capital, particularly the $25 million it received in June of 1999, gave Google the power to hire the best, to research, and to implement on a massive scale. By contrast, libraries are mostly public institution...

    Many would never guess that Google's search engine is actually biased toward other companies. In the article Google's Monopoly and Internet Freedom it states that, “a commerce site whose search algorithm favors products and services from Google and those from companies able to spend the most advertising on.”(Pagliery) meaning that companies are paying Google for the privilege to advertise their product. Google is looking out for the best interest of their company then the best interest of the users, making their search engine biased since their results are modified to their liking. Many people would assume that Google’s search engine is based off of the popularity of a website but if that were the case than every other search engine would be coming up with the same results. According to Pagliery, Google hires scientist to constantly tweak their search algorithms. The only reason a site would need to change their algorithms so frequently is if a newly approaching website company is struggling to get views so they pay Google to help them advertise their site. This is why it is becoming so difficult for other companies to compete with Google because if Google can choose what to put on their search engine that means they can bury other companies to the point where their views will be almost completely gone.

  • Google's History

    782 Words  | 2 Pages

    First of all, where does the word “Google” come from? The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol,” which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. It found its way to the English language, now the verb "Google", was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning, "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet." Their search engine was originally nicknamed "BackRub" because the system checked back links to estimate a site's importance. /// The start of Google was pretty much like the start of every website. It was a research project to these two Ph.D. Students where they hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better ranking of results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page. It was first related to the university’s domain, but then the traffic was so heavy that the university asked them to move their website to a domain outside the university. What made Google this popular was the speed it pulls out information, which is counted in parts of seconds. And also, the size of their data base, according to the instructor of our instructor in MIS class only 60% of data you found on Google are in other web search engines.

  • Google's Dilemma in China

    1222 Words  | 3 Pages

    Google is the largest search engine across the globe, which has significantly transformed the use of the Internet as an information source. The influence of Google in Internet use as information source is evident in the fact that by June 2010, it accounted for more than 70 percent of total Internet searches in America. In addition to its success and profitability in the global market, Google is renowned as a highly ethical company as demonstrated in its corporate philosophy features. However, the firm’s behavior during the launch of its China-based search engine in 2006 generated huge skepticism from the United States government and several human rights organizations (Baker & Tang, p.2). Since the launch of Google’s Chinese search engine, the company complied with China’s censorship regulations by deciding to filter out terms that are considered politically sensitive. This decision attracted criticism from political leaders and human rights activists who accused Google of betraying its adopted ethical standards by ignoring the essence of freedom of expression and information access. As a result, Google faced a dilemma involving the clash between law and ethics. In the subsequent years, Google reacted to the dilemma by changing its rhetoric strategies in efforts to respond to the changing needs.
