"Here is the story behind one of the most remarkable Internet successes of our time. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, the book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company whose name is a favorite brand and a standard verb recognized around the world. Its stock is worth more than General Motors’ and Ford’s combined, its staff eats for free in a dining room that used to be run by the Grateful Dead’s former chef, and its employees traverse the firm’s colorful Silicon Valley campus on scooters and inline skates.
THE GOOGLE STORY is the definitive account of the populist media company powered by the world’s most advanced technology that in a few short years has revolutionized access to information about everything for everybody everywhere.
In 1998, Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words, “change the world” through a search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free.
While the company has done exactly that in more than one hundred languages, Google’s quest continues as it seeks to add millions of library books, television broadcasts, and more to its searchable database.
Readers will learn about the amazing business acumen and computer wizardry that started the company on its astonishing course; the secret network of computers delivering lightning-fast search results; the unorthodox approach that has enabled it to challenge Microsoft’s dominance and shake up Wall Street. Even as it rides high, Google wrestles with difficult choices that will enable it to continue expanding while sustaining the guiding vision of its founders’ mantra: DO NO EVIL."

起碼態度滿樸實的,對比講facebook的那本也太花俏,太biased瞭。 這麼多年瞭,故事沒有什麼新穎的地方瞭,但是作者能refrain from wishfully attribute definitive "cause" to past events,個人覺得已經超過好多當今的流行書瞭。
評分這便是美國新聞記者以慣用的手筆與方式刻畫的傳記。內容乏味,平鋪直敘的。如果喜歡Google又想練習練習英文閱讀,那倒不妨一讀。如果你曾在較常一段時間關注過Google,那這本書對你來說隻是浪費金錢。
評分I still remember the days when we hook up the Internet at home with a 36.6kbps speed. The dialing of modem which came with buzzing sound indicated that we are connected to the Internet, or not. Back in the days, Excite was the dominant search engine. It wa...

評分說到web2.0,大傢肯定會說Web2.0是以Flickr、43Things.com等網站為代錶,以Blog、TAG、SNS、RSS、wiki等社會軟件的應用為核心,依據六度分隔、xml、ajax等新理論和技術實現的互聯網新一代模式。不過,說到現在web2.0的搜索網站是怎樣的呢? 曾經對彆人說過,我可...

這本書是我買的。
評分好看
評分終於是啃完瞭,幸好是紙質原版,要是PDF,還不得纍死? 這本書的作用就是給不算深刻瞭解Google的童鞋用來普及曆史的。,還有個作用,消遣中學學英語。貌似還有個十周年版?
評分地攤上買的盜版來當英文閱讀材料=,=
評分我覺得這句話很有意思:如果我沒有在google,那我一定在去google 的路上。” 這裏的google 是動詞。
