Abstract

Few companies in history have ever been as successful and as admired as Google, the company that has transformed the Internet and become an indispensable part of our lives. How has Google done it? Veteran technology reporter Steven Levy was granted unprecedented access to the company, and in this revelatory book he takes readers inside Google headquarters-the Googleplex-to show how Google works. While they were still students at Stanford, Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin revolutionized Internet search. They followed this brilliant innovation with another, as two of Google's earliest employees found a way to do what no one else had: make billions of dollars from Internet advertising. With this cash cow (until Google's IPO nobody other than Google management had any idea how lucrative the company's ad business was), Google was able to expand dramatically and take on other transformative projects: more efficient data centers, open-source cell phones, free Internet video (YouTube), cloud computing, digitizing books, and much more. The key to Google's success in all these businesses, Levy reveals, is its engineering mind-set and adoption of such Internet values as speed, openness, experimentation, and risk taking. After its unapologetically elitist approach to hiring, Google pampers its engineers-free food and dry cleaning, on-site doctors and masseuses-and gives them all the resources they need to succeed. Even today, with a workforce of more than 23,000, Larry Page signs off on every hire. But has Google lost its innovative edge? It stumbled badly in China-Levy discloses what went wrong and how Brin disagreed with his peers on the China strategy-and now with its newest initiative, social networking, Google is chasing a successful competitor for the first time. Some employees are leaving the company for smaller, nimbler start-ups. Can the company that famously decided not to be evil still compete? No other book has ever turned Google inside out as Levy does with In the Plex.

Footnote

Rez. in: CD Info. 2003, H.10, S.12: "Der Aufwand bei der Internet-Recherche hat sich mit guten Suchmaschinen wie Google verringert. Trotzdem verbringt der Computeranwender eine Menge Zeit mit dem Öffnen und Schließen von Webseiten, die er nie benötigt hätte. Wer die Arbeitsweise und die Möglichkeiten von Google kennt, kann die Suche besser eingrenzen und gelangt oft direkter zur gewünschten Homepage. Der Google Pocket Guide erläutert die Funktionsweise des am meisten verwendeten Suchtools, gibt Tipps zur optimalen Nutzung und liefert gleich einige konkrete Beispiele für deren Verwendung. Neben den Optionen der Erweiterten Suche widmet sich das kleine Taschenbuch auch der Syntax der Website, sodass die Befehle direkt in die Suchmaske eingegeben werden können. Auch Zusatz-Features wie die Bildersuche, der Webkatalog, die Newsgroup-Datenbank sowie der seit Kurzem auch in deutscher Sprache verfügbare News-Bereich werden behandelt. Der Google Pocket Guide erläutert kurz und bündig die wichtigsten Techniken und hilft Zeit und Aufwand zu sparen. Der brandneue Titel ist derzeit leider nur in Englisch verfügbar."
