Google…
Google (not going to bother linking, you know where to find it), has been in the news recently, well at least in the geeky news that I tend to read. In fact Google is rarely out of the tech news headlines, but specifically, recently they have been in the news due to the preview of Chrome OS, the beta of Wave, and rather controversially their plans to digitise and publish every book online.
Recently, Wired UK magazine had a great article about Google, it made me want to learn a bit more about the company. So at some point I do want to, and plan to read ‘The Google Story’ by David Vise.
I stumbled upon this video earlier, it sums up the various stages Google has gone through over the years, and charts their various products. It’s only a couple of minutes long and worth a watch, even if only for the nice graphics of the video.
Hah, I bought that book a couple of weeks ago! Haven’t had a chance to read it yet though.
I’ve also got that book! I read it last summer, and remember it being really interesting. You can borrow my copy if you like, it’s in NI & I’ll be over in a few weeks.
