GOOGLE Inc.
Google Inc. is a multinational public cloud computing, Internet search, and advertising technologies
corporation. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and products and generates profit
primarily from advertising. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the
"Google Guys". Page and Brin originally nick named their new search engine "BackRub", because the system
checked back links to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google,
originating from a misspelling of the word "googol”, which represents the number one followed by one
hundred zeros, that was meant to signify the amount of information the search engine was to handle.
The company's stated mission from the outset was "to organize the world's information and make it
universally accessible and useful". The company's unofficial slogan – coined by Google engineer Paul
Buchheit – is Don't be evil. Actually, this site has played an important role in the democratization of
information.
Google runs over one million servers in data centers around the world, and processes over one billion
search requests. However, the dominant market position of Google's services has led to criticism of the
company over issues including privacy, copyright, and censorship. The company offers online productivity
software, such as its Gmail e-mail software, and social networking tools, Google Buzz, Google Books. Since
many books are difficult, if not impossible, to find in bookstores or on library shelves, today we are able to
search the full text of almost 10 million books. Anyway, the Google web search engine is the company's most
popular service. Google indexes trillions of web pages, so that users can search for the information they desire,
through the use of keywords and operators. Moreover, today Google.org builds technology products to address
global challenges such as climate change, pandemic disease and poverty.
