When Larry and Sergey founded Google Search, one of the things that struck me is that it was available for everyone to use. We deeply desire our services to work for everyone. And that inherently means we have to work with partners. That is the thesis underlying everything we do.
I have a rule that I won’t Google my own name.
Google was like the only company that was like, ‘We’re making so much money; let’s take a picture of every street in the world.’ Nobody does that.
If you care about the news and write what you want to read – not just what you think Google search wants to read – there are people out there who want to read it.
If you want positive search results, do positive things. If you don’t want negative search results, don’t do negative things. To some of my colleagues across the aisle, if you’re getting bad press articles and bad search results, don’t blame Google or Facebook or Twitter. Consider blaming yourself.
We have a very close relationship with Google. We extend our offerings to all the markets that we expand into.
I think if German literature could survive the ’40s and Russian literature could survive Sovietism, American literature can survive Google.
There’s no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they’ll probably Google you. It’s a shame – people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I’m angry about something, I’m not going to take to my Twitter.
Whether it’s Google or Apple or free software, we’ve got some fantastic competitors and it keeps us on our toes.
Google is one of the most incredible breakthroughs that we have today. Yes, it can scare a lot of patients, thinking we’re all dying because we look up something on Google. But there’s also a lot of anecdotal information from parents, firsthand accounts of what they did for their own child.
I always liked to draw, and when I was a kid, the Internet wasn’t big at all, so I would go to Internet cafes and search Google images for cartoon characters and save it to my USB drive.
If you look at companies like Twitter, Google, all these companies started with ideas and then everybody used it. In my world, people don’t think like that. Rappers chase the next check. They become a slave to labels and eventually that money starts shrinking.
Obviously, working at Google wasn’t a mistake. I used to just walk around. I don’t know if I was supposed to, but I’d just open doors and see what people were doing.
I don’t know what would happen if the media starts picking up a theme that Google is secretly building AI weapons or AI technologies to enable weapons for the defense industry.
We could construct a machine that is more intelligent than we can understand. It’s possible Google is that kind of thing already. It scales so fast.
With Google, we formed a new alliance to create industry-specific cloud and mobile solutions to help clients advance their digital transformation agendas and improve business performance.
I wouldn’t be without Google, and I love Facebook.
I look at Google and think they have a strong academic culture. Elegant solutions to complex problems.
Amazon is now the definitive source for data about whole sets of products – fungible consumer products. EBay is the authoritative source for the secondary market of those products. Google is the authority for information about facts, but they’re relatively undifferentiated.
That’s what Google taught me. Aim higher. Udacity is my playground – to radically experiment and find out. I’ve seen the light.
I’ve seen all of these decisions that have been made by all these great leaders who have been part of Google, and this has been an opportunity for me when I’m running YouTube, is to be able to take advantage of all of those memories.
If you know what you want, you use Google. But if you don’t know what you want, and you want to be surprised and find something you didn’t expect, we want you come to StumbleUpon. Really, that idea of being a discovery engine versus a search engine.
I was a design ethicist at Google, where I studied how do you ethically steer people’s thoughts? Because what we don’t talk about is how the handful of people working at a handful of technology companies through their choices will steer what a billion people are thinking today.
Google is making a huge investment in developing the Ajax approach.
When I saw that Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion, I was dumbfounded! Why would Google get into bed with thieves? They’ve built a huge audience on the backs of copyright holders – and then they say I have to monitor them?
Services like Google and Facebook only exist because of the social acceptance of a mass amount of distributed volunteer labor from tons and tons of people.
I put my name into the Google search bar. Justine Bateman… And the auto-complete comes up. The auto-complete says that the top option is, ‘Justine Bateman looks old.’
Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in any information that I share with a company? My Google searches? The emails I send? Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in anything but maybe a letter I hand deliver to my wife?
Some of the apps I use are Google Maps, Amazon, Zomato and Facetime. I also use media player so that I can watch my batting videos and some movies.
Newfangled online sites like ‘Business Insider’ and ‘Huffington Post’ built businesses they later sold for hundreds of millions of dollars by ripping off the work of more talented journalists and then playing Google’s digitally native games better than the old fogeys ever could.
Clearly Google is searching for a way to do business in China that avoids them sending someone to jail over an e-mail.
People tend to think about trade as if it’s competition between companies – if Apple wins, Google loses. But that’s false. Trade makes nations better off in general. Now, I want to be clear. I’m not saying that everything about trade is good and beneficial. Trade also has costs.
Google serves all of humanity with information within milliseconds.
My mind works like Google for images. You put in a key word; it brings up pictures.
Google attracts so much talent, it can afford to look beyond traditional metrics, like G.P.A. For most young people, though, going to college and doing well is still the best way to master the tools needed for many careers.
When I joined Google, they asked me what title I wanted. I said, ‘What about archduke?’ They said, ‘Well, that didn’t meet our nomenclature. Why don’t you be our Chief Internet Evangelist?’ This was in 2005.
Tactically, yelling at Google is unwise.
You can’t be a reporter using Google. It can be a tool. But you have to get out of the house.
People are adamant learning is not just looking at a Google page. But it is. Learning is looking at Google pages. What is wrong with that?
I think if someone sues Google, it will be very, very interesting.
The more angels we have in Silicon Valley, the better. We are funding innovation. We are funding the next Facebook, Google, and Twitter.
The office-as-playground trend was made famous by Google and has spread like an infection across the tech industry. Work can’t just be work; work has to be fun.
In 2013, when Google announced that Kansas City would be the first city in the country to have Google Fiber, I bought a house in the first neighborhood that was being wired up with Google’s gigabit Internet.
Besides publishing its own work, the Google AI China Center will also support the AI research community by funding and sponsoring AI conferences and workshops and working closely with the vibrant Chinese AI research community.
If you’re texting a friend about dinner, Google will give you restaurant reviews and directions automatically.
Everybody knows: people, operations, and the HR component of Google is one critical strategic asset that we have.
I read Google News and use NetNewsWire to keep up with general and tech news.
Technology ventures can succeed with very little investment, unlike many other industries. A lot of the big Internet players like Google or Yahoo were started by a couple of guys with computers. Microsoft was started in Bill Gates’ garage.
Facebook and Google are essentially an advertising duopoly, and we have almost no idea how their algorithms work.
Google’s competitors fail to demonstrate that Google’s actions stifle competition rather than reflect pro-consumer innovations.
Most people see a job offer from Google as a victory, and I should have seen it that way. I should have at least seen the salary that way.
We spend a lot of time looking at the things we like: Amazon, Google, Facebook.
I go to class every day with the future Facebook and Twitter and Google employees, the future innovators and entrepreneurs who might have the next big thing. Knowing that and seeing their success and work ethic makes you want to be successful. It impresses me every day. It humbles me, too.
For me, Google was the coolest place. It was the coolest place. People there were so smart. And they were all doing these really interesting things. I just felt lucky to be part of it even in a small way.
I always Google myself. It’s horrible.
Google is very much a not-invented-here, build-it-ourselves culture.
Sure, Google’s and Apple’s ecosystems look a little different, but they are meant to do pretty much the same thing. For the two companies, innovation on mobile essentially means catching up to the other’s growing list of features.
