tats google's key tenet.
after being tremendously impressed by google at e end of a case study tat i did on google for my strategic mgmt class, im now increasing my patronage of google (as a user) n advocating google to all my frens (google mainly advertises thru word of mouth). hehe~
e various things google impressed me with:
1) no info on search users is collected. some search engines collect info on their search users n sell those info to advertisers.
2) paid search results are not interspersed with nonpaid search results. google's superior search technology, PageRank™, will make sure tat e most relevant search results are displayed 1st, regardless of whether those results are paid.
3) hate pop-up ads? use google.
4) small advertisers can sign up with google for a $5 fee n there'r no minimum advertising expenditures required.
5) ads are allocated based on a bidding system. but e advertiser with e highest bid can lower their bid price if tat bid is significantly higher than e 2nd highest bid. i tink mercenary profit maximisers will nv allow tat rite..
6) for its IPO, google conducted a dutch auction. under e typical IPOs, brokers usually oni favour e big buyers, but dutch auctions allowed every potential investor (regardless of size) to place bids for shares.
7) google's shares once soared 95% within 2mths. how i wish im one of those early google investors!
8) page & brin's brilliance. e google founders put together a network of low-cost computers whose performance equalled tat of a supercomputer.
9) "googlers" are spontaneous, fun n chic. they are entitled to free meals, to bring their pets to work, unlimited servings of m&ms, on-site physician n dental care, on-site dry cleaning services, blahblahblah.
look at e 10 reasons to work at google.
10) googleplex.
situated in mountain view, california, bldgs in googleplex are given interesting names like
"Building 2 is named "e," after the base of natural logarithm (numerically, that's 2.71828).
Building 3 goes by the name of "pi" (3.14)"
lastly, this shd be a good enough reason for u to use google.
so now, use google.

But do you know google will censor sensitive (i.e. politically incorrect) websites in China as a condition to gain access into the Chinese market?
That doesn't sound very right to me.
Ah..the lure of capitalism wins over democracy.

btw i forgot to mention tat e name google originated from a mathematical jargon called goo-gul, which represents 1 followed by a hundred 0s.
