Company Google
American business
Google LLC (pronounced "gugl") : is an American technology services company founded in 1998 in California's Silicon Valley by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the minds behind the Google search engine.
Since August 2015, it has been a subsidiary of the Alphabet corporation.
The company is primarily known for the monopolistic state of their search engine, which has historically been competed with by AltaVista, Yahoo!, and Bing. She went on to make numerous acquisitions and developments after that and currently owns a wide range of well-known software and websites, including YouTube, the Android mobile operating system, as well as other services like Gmail, Google Earth, Google Maps, and Google Play.
After Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, Pichai Sundararajan has served as his general manager since 2015.
A few years after its initial entry into the stock market, Google has grown to become one of the top American and global businesses thanks to its bourse valuation. She was valued at 176 billion dollars at Wall Street's beginning of 2008 , On February 1st, 2016, its market capitalization overtook Apple's and it became the largest US company, with a total of 550 billion dollars distributed among its several action categories.
In 2014, the Interbrand Best Global Brands ranking places Google in second place globally, behind Apple, with an estimated value of 107,43 trillion dollars (+15% compared to 2013), breaking the trillion dollar barrier for the first time since the ranking's inception in 1974[12]. Google was ranked first in the Brand Z Top 100 in 2016 ahead of Apple.
The company employs about 50 000 people. The majority of them work in Google's global headquarters in Mountain View, California.
Google is one of the most powerful online businesses, and it is a member of the GAFAM group of web giants, which also includes Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft , In 2011, Google has more than 900,000 servers , up from 400 000 in 2006, making it the largest server park in the world (2% of all computers), with devices dispersed among 32 facilities. Similar to this, Google's search engine indexed over a trillion billion web pages in 2008. Google accounts for 6,4% of all Internet traffic as of October 2010 and is growing faster than the web Google currently holds a 93% market share for search engines in Europe.
Beyond its search engine, Google provides a wide range of free software and services (e-mail, office suite, video, photo, blog, etc.) and began generating revenue from advertising in 2000, primarily through the use of sponsored links in search results and "cost per click" billing for advertisers. However, the growing monopoly scenario and privacy concerns are worrying everyone from the occasional internet user to certain major organizations. Google has also been the target of numerous legal actions, including over its Google Books platform and a number of copyright compatibility disputes.
Google brand :
The Google logo is quite straightforward and comes from its search engine. It is made up of the word Google written in police Catull, whose letters are colored in the following order: blue-rouge-jaune-bleu-vert-rouge. This composition has not changed since 1999, with the exception of the removal of the exclamation point and the mention of "bêta." It was developed by Ruth Kedar, who taught design at Stanford University when Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the two men who founded the search engine, were students , This color and shape architecture is seen in a number of products, including Gmail.
While the company's logo does not alter, its search engine's logo is frequently changed for a day to commemorate or mark a special occasion. These logos, which are only found on the front page, are therefore visually appropriate for the day's theme ,These are Google Doodles (the word "doodle" is an English slang term that can be used interchangeably with the word "Google"). By using the same search term in Google's search engine, it is possible to see the Google logo in ASCII art.
Google has kept its original logo around for a while. The logo is recognized for its raised, multicolored letters. As of the end of September 2013, Google made a slight alteration to their logo to add more modernization: the colors are paler and the letters are now in two dimensions.
The logo will once again alter in September 2015 to adopt a more grassy and arrondie style while maintaining the same colors for each letter.
Slogan :
The Google slogan up until October 2015 was "Don't be evil" (also known as "Don't be evil"). The word was even used in a letter sent to investors in the spring of 2004, just before their market debut. According to Larry Page, "With this phrase, which is our invention, we have tried to precisely define what being a beneficial force means—always acting morally and correctly." This plan effectively captures Larry Page and Sergey Brin's intention to transform Google into a company that works to improve the world.
The company has occasionally come under fire for its slogan, particularly in relation to the filtering that prevents access from China to specific websites or pages containing certain words. In particular, Google.cn takes care to ensure that character sequences that cause the user to become disconnected via automatic surveillance mechanisms that access providers must ensure do not appear on its response pages. She explained that, in her opinion, Chinese users would benefit more from a biased Google than none at all.
Don't be evil was completely removed from the Alphabet conduct code in April 2018 , There is only one more remark, the final one: "And remember... don't be evil, and if you see something that you think isn't right - speak up!" "And remember... don't be mischievous, and if you see something that bothers you, say something!"
The search engine Google :(search engine for the internet) :
Google is a free and open-access search engine on the World Wide Web that gave the company Google its name. This is currently the most popular search engine and website on the planet: In 2018, 90% of internet users made use of it.
This search engine is accessible in 35 countries[8] as of 2010 and has an interface in more than 100 languages.
Google started out as a search engine for online pages but has now expanded to include a variety of file kinds, including PDF, Word, Flash, and pictures, videos, and Usenet discussion forums (Google Groups), thanks to the acquisition of Deja News.
It has a news portal called Google Actualités that brings together the websites of major newspapers and major press agencies.
It had a component of the directory that allowed users to search for websites by category (the DMOZ directory organized by PageRank), but it has since vanished.
Launched by the company in September 2010 was Google Instant. This service is initially only offered in a small number of countries, including France. As soon as the first letter is entered into the search bar, Google returns a result that becomes more relevant as more letters are entered. This function offers potentially relevant results that are typically sought for. Therefore, the search engine anticipates user queries. This function can be turned off. The company's engineers claimed that it would provide time savings of about 40%.
On October 2, 2010, a small blue selection triangle appeared to the left of the first result suggested by the American search engine. It is possible to choose the outcome of one's choice using the keyboard's up and down arrows, and then to access the website by using the Enter key.
On October 9, 2010, the ability to preview web sites was made available (by clicking the loupe, a desired site image will appear to the right of the screen), and hovering the cursor over a result will make the background of that result blue.
