In this technology era, Google has been a well known website as an effective search engine and its related targeted-advertising tools. Google is expanding vastly by venturing into various business activities while generating huge profit.


Google aimed to deliver technologies to organize the world’s information and make it globally accessible and useful. Its attempt to the spreadsheet as a Web based application enable users to input and share data easily. Google spreadsheet enables sharing among 10 users concurrently. Google base, an online database service, is another project run by Google that can be used closely with Google spreadsheet. In addition, Google has expanded into other business activities namely software business, Web programs and more.


Furthermore, Google has partnered with an IT consulting firm, BearingPoint, to provide enterprise search capabilities that will identifies and enables specific content across the enterprise to be indexed, searched and displayed to authorized users.


Enterprise search offers familiar search interface for accessing strategic enterprise information to retrieve answers with a simple keyword search. An example of this would be the case of Kaiser Permanente (Kaiserpermanente.org). Kaiser utilized the use of Google Search Appliance to enable 150000 documents being indexed across the Kaiser network. Doctors and nurses will be able to use this search engine to help them reach diagnoses and specify treatments, check the side effects of new medications, and consult clinical research studies and other medical publications.


The point mentioned above shown the changes and evolved of Google which is from a search engine that slowly expanded to provides more than a normal search engine browser can do.


Sharing :

We would also like to share another updates of Google here:

On 29th May 2009, Google made history with their 90-minutes Google Wave Developer Preview session. Google Wave is ultimately going to change the entire face of the emerging Social Web, so it affects every individual and organization that relies on social networking for their information sharing and marketing. Beyond the obvious impact on the Social Web, Google Wave is also going to change aspects of every business that currently relies on communication and collaboration tools of any sort.

Yeah I do agree with that. Google started as an search engine company and their traffic was not as good as yahoo.com. Throughout the years of development, Google has appeared to be a successful leader in the search engine technology. Today, Google provides many other services and most of them for free such as Gmail, Youtube, Picasa, Book Search, Google Chrome, just to name a few. We can't deny Google's high contribution to the information technology today!
