advertising build business create economics founded google great hire information invented provided
Google was founded to get information to everybody. A by-product of that strategy is that we invented an advertising business which has provided great economics that allows us to build the servers, hire the employees, create value.
thinking people google
I actually think most people don't want Google to answer their questions. They want Google to tell them what they should be doing next.
summer google television
By the summer of 2012, the majority of the televisions you see in stores will have Google TV embedded.
believe google belief
Google is more than a business. Google is a belief system. And we believe passionately in the open Internet model.
google culture
Google is very much a not-invented-here, build-it-ourselves culture.
thinking google fundamentals
I think of Google as a set of overlapping things. It's a consumer platform, consumer phenomenon of which search is its fundamental activity, but there are many other things you can do than search... I think of Google as an advertising company who services the broader advertising industry in the ways that you know.
home google special
I do want to emphasize that we've seen an explosion in the use of Google Maps and Google Earth for education. The earth is a special place. It is our home and it's why we're all here. And the ability to see what's really going on the earth, the good stuff and the bad stuff, at the level that you can, is phenomenal.
airplane clouds google
Google docs and spreadsheets don't work if you're on an airplane. But it's a technical problem that is going to get solved. Eventually you will be able to work on a plane as if you are connected and, then when you get reconnected to the Internet, your computer will just synchronize with the cloud.
google world broadband
The more broadband we can get globally, the better. It's better for the world; it's better for our advertisers; it's better for Google.
fcc issues google
The issues of wireless versus wireline gets very messy. And that's really an FCC issue, not a Google issue.
names google next
Search companies, which I won't mention by name, tried to do so many things at the same time, they forgot all about search. They either missed the next revolution of search or they created an opening for a Google to enter.
phones google want
Ultimately, application vendors are driven by volume, and volume is favored by the open approach Google is taking. There are so many manufacturers working so hard to distribute Android phones globally that whether you like [Android 4.0] or not ... you will want to develop for that platform, and perhaps even first.
phones google use
Mobile use is growing faster than all of Google's internal predictions.
google use remember
Remember, when you go to YouTube, you do a search. When you go to Google, you do a search. As we get the search integrated between YouTube and Google, which we're working on, it will drive a lot of traffic into both places. So the trick, overall, is generating more searches, more uses of Google.
