Topics: Google – Introduction Why do we love Google? But… How it works? Efficient Googling!
Introduction Founders: Larry Page and Sergey Brin Incorporated: September 4, 1998 Headquarters: Googleplex, Mountain View, California.
Why do we love Google? Size and scope: Now indexing over 20 billion web pages Relevance of Results: PageRank Diversity of Search: Image, News, Book Search, Scholar, Blog Search, Finance, Video... Other Tools: Google Maps, Picasa, Blogger, Gmail, Calendar, Docs & Spreadsheets...
PageRank PageRank explained by Google: Google interprets a link on page A going to page B as a vote -- by page A, for page B. Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily. Page A Page B Page CPage D
