Every day over sixty-four million people use Google in more than one hundred languages. Providing an account of one of the most remarable organizations of modern times - Google, this book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company that has become so familiar its name is used as a verb around the world.

The Google Story (using logo) is the definitive account of one of the most remarable organizations of our time. Every day over sixty-four million people use Google in more than one hundred languages, running billions of searches for information on everything and anything. Through the creative use of cutting-edge technology and a series of groundbreaking business ideas, Google's thirty-two year old founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, have in ten years taken Google from being just another internet start-up to a company with a market value of over US$80 billion. Based on scupulous research and extraordinary access to the inner workings of Google, this book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company that has become so familiar its name is used as a verb around the world. But even as it rides high, Google wrestles with difficult challenges in a business that changes at lightning speed. In this fully updated edition of the 2005 title, David A. Vise brings readers fully up to speed on the latest developments and issues facing the company as it continues to expand and innovate while trying to sustain the guiding vision of its founders' mantra: Do No Evil. 'If you want to know how the Google boys became wealthy and powerful beyond dreams, then David Vise's assiduously researched The Google Story is for you.' - Sunday Telegraph . 'If Google were to take on critical faculties as well as its other attributes Vise's book would probably come out on top.' - The Times .

  Disappointing to say the least
Reviewed by Unknown from South Africa on 31 March 2007
205 of 405 people found the following review helpful:

This book was very disappointing indeed. The author's writing style leaves a lot to be desired and the content is terrible. There is hardly any information of value and a constant repetition of the same garbage. The author clearly did not do enough research, nor did he really interact with the founding members of Google, to gain their insight into things. Truly a disappointing read. I wish I had never bought it.
