On Google

We watched a video on Google. This is what I found to be interesting:

The people working at Google get to have a lot of fun, this allows them to keep people interested in and focused on their job.
Google started out as a research project and became amazingly successful with very high profits.
They rank their pages in order of how they come up by how many links are going to the site, a different approach than most search engines.
2/3 of internet searches are done on Google, they still have lots of competition (Bing and Yahoo).
Yahoo turned down buying Google.
Google keeps every search ever made, analyze it to make Google better. People worry about their privacy because of this.  The history of your searches can be given to the government, but Google tries to keep he privacy of its users and does not misuse their data.
Google visual search allows you to take a picture and then search with it on Google if you want to know more about what you took a picture of.  Google is trying to catch up to the Iphone with the Android.
Google Adwords is very helpful for  small businesses by helping them advertise their company. Google makes a lot of its money with Adwords. This is what the sponsored links at the top of the  page are.

This video was very interesting and showed a lot about what Google is doing and how they work. I think that Google Adwords was the most interesting because I have never heard of it before.  I learned a lot about Google from this video and was very glad I watched it.
