* According to its website, Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and “make it universally accessible and useful.” * Google uses approximately 20 petabytes of user-generated data every day. (Petabytes are estimated at 10 to the 15th power. So 1 petabyte is approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes.) It uses massive amounts of computation to index the Web, process search results, serve up ads, and more. * In May 2011, over 1 billion unique visitors visited the Google website, up 8.4% from a year earlier. Microsoft came in second with 905 million visitors.Facebookand Yahoo held the third and fourth positions with 714 million and 689 million visitors, respectively. * Facebook users spend the most minutes on the Internet with over 250 billion minutes in May 2011. Microsoft and Google came in second and third with 204 billion and 200 billion minutes, respectively. * Google uses over 1 million computers for is operation and handles over 1 billion search requests per day. * If you use Google Calendar, Google may also know your schedule, what books you’ve read on Google Books, and what videos you watch on YouTube. They also save all your search queries, your IP address, your browser and its set language, the date and time of every request, your SMS messages, the cookies used for advertising services, and third-party application data. According to one critic, “Google knows more about you than your mother.” * In 2007,Forbesmagazine ranked Google as the best place in the U.S. to work. * When Google introduced its “Did you mean . . .?” feature, site traffic doubled. * Google provides on-site physicians and nurses, who make sure the employees do not have to leave the campus for medical checkups. Google believes that happy and healthy employees are the best employees. http://facts.randomhistory.com/interesting-facts-about-google.html 5 Likes 1 Share |
