I wish I had an agressive marketing plan back when they started. Oh well, hind sight is 2020.

I don’t see why everybody hates Google. I love them. I have been able to find exactly what I want, when I want it, no long loading pages, no ‘internet explorer cannot display this page’, they seem to have done everything just right. They deserve to be the best, and with such modest co-founders…

They are only 10?! Haven’t they come such a long way!
I really admire that they set goals to be the best in their industry. With this forward thinking it shows that anyone can achieve what they really desire if they work hard at it.
Good on them! :)

Wow, this is fascinating to see this! It’s funny, when you think of a company as big as Google is now, it’s hard to imagine that at one point it was just a little startup. It’s hard to imagine that at one point Larry was just a regular entrepreneur with an idea! I can’t even FATHOM that there was a day when they were THINKING about generating revenue but hadn’t started yet… that there was a time when they were HOPING to compete with other search engines of the day (whereas now, they dominate to the nth degree)! It’s just wild. Happy 10 yr. Anniversary, Google!

Around the same time I was working for LookSmart in London. After a boozy team-bonding session, I remember cornering my boss and haranguing him for LookSmart´s lack of cojones. I told him we needed to be more aggressive in promoting ourselves as a brand name. He retorted that it would be better for us to build partnerships with better-known names in the industry.
As it turned out, I was right. LookSmart closed its European offices after losing a deal with Microsoft. See, boss, it wasn´t the drink talking.

I too understand this is one of the frank business deals on people interest. One must be always in lucrative growth

Google is a Phenomena, there are in did very few very businesses in histry that have achieved such a fit as Google has done in just 10 year. As Sergey said …”If you do things right you can make a big jump over everybody else” …. they just did it right under 10 years. ….man you can’t beat that.

Google may ruffle quite a few feathers, but you’re right about their business model being impeccable…especially since they were mere grad students when Google was conceived!

You are right man, we all dislike google for a reason or the other, but those guys arrived at the stage just at the appropriate time. Their timing was perfect and the business model unbeatable and they are making their dough. No one can begrudge them on that.
