Google Quotes

Alternative services would mean that there would be services available to compete with Google, Facebook, Amazon, Dropbox, Skype, etc., and they would be run by companies not based in the U.S.A. The rest of the world has simply failed in being able to compete with them, and we really should be doing better here Picture Quote #1

For Google, the problem with being a free, abundant, and rather infinite set of services is that it’s hard to create much of a stir about anything. There are so many major software service options under the ‘more’ menu on the Gmail page that they’ve had to go and add a final item called ‘even more.’ Picture Quote #1

$The ‘old’ Internet is shrinking and being replaced by walled gardens over which Google’s crawlers can’t climb. Sure, Google can crawl Facebook’s ‘public pages,’ but those represent a tiny fraction of the ‘pages’ on Faceboo, and are not informed by the crucial signals of identity and relationship which give those pages meaning Picture Quote #1$

It’s a world of multiple screens, smart displays, with tons of low-cost computing, with big sensors built into devices. At Google, we ask how to bring together something seamless and beautiful and intuitive across all these screens Picture Quote #1

Google started out when the dot-com boom was happening. It grew under the radar of big companies that were competing in but basically ignoring search. Then they were able to really invest during the bust for a long time Picture Quote #1

The thing that really struck me was how many firms that we think of as strictly civilian had ties to the Pentagon. Companies like Apple, Starbucks, Oakley the sunglasses manufacturer. Even Google, and a lot of big corporations like PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, and Nestle, that you don’t normally think of as defense contractors Picture Quote #1

Personal branding is about managing your name - even if you don’t own a business - in a world of misinformation, disinformation, and semi-permanent Google records. Going on a date? Chances are that your blind date has Googled your name. Going to a job interview? Ditto Picture Quote #1

Google is fascinating, and the book isn’t finished. I’m creating, living, building, and writing those chapters Picture Quote #1

I have turned off Google Alerts and don’t Google my name or my pen names. I don’t go on message boards. I don’t read my book reviews Picture Quote #1

When I climb into my car, I enter my destination into a GPS device, whose spatial memory supplants my own. I have photographs to store the images I want to remember, books to store knowledge and now, thanks to Google, I rarely have to remember anything more than the right set of search terms to access humankind’s collective memory Picture Quote #1

I always urge people to do something different, so for instance find something that you have secretly always wanted to try like dancing or boot camps or boxing, and Google search and put your zip code in and find a location- a class or trainer that teaches that in your area Picture Quote #1

Even the most brilliant accomplishments on the Internet are essentially cold. Google has changed the world, but you don’t snuggle up to it. YouTube is a giant carnival, filled with freaks and mountebanks, a place to gawk and laugh and get bored. Certainly not a place to feel anything Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to work for Google, or any of the other firms encouraging staff to pursue personal projects on company time, to use slowness to unlock your creativity. Anyone can do it. Start by clearing space in your schedule for rest, daydreaming and serendipity. Take breaks away from your desk, especially when you get stuck on a problem Picture Quote #1

Google was a venture-funded company. Being part of that brings an energy to the company Picture Quote #1

Today you can start a blog, build an audience, and give the advertising slots to AdBrite or Google AdSense Picture Quote #1

Google can say they are not in the content business, but if they are paying people and distributing and archiving their work, it is getting harder to make that case Picture Quote #1

I credit Google for having the foresight to identify threats to its main business of selling advertising against search results. The potential loss of market share in the mobile space led them to the Android acquisition Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anyone at Google feels happy about it, but they’ve been in some sense, you know, enslaved to their business model, and so they have to satisfy their advertisers Picture Quote #1

We do have business relationships; we do licensing relationships, and people want to use Google services on top of Android. But in theory, you can use Android without Google Picture Quote #1

I knew there were all kinds of interesting things going on at Google, but now that I’ve seen them, my mind has been blown - in a great way. They have all these amazing projects and people that the world doesn’t know anything about. I’m like a kid in a candy store - it’s an idea factory Picture Quote #1

We don’t take on Google Glass or the self-driving car project or Project Loon unless we think that on a risk-adjusted basis, it’s worth Google’s money to do it Picture Quote #1

Google’s founders have had a good eye for imagining what technologies will be significant in the near future. No one asked Google to develop self-driving cars, but it helped them with street views for Google Maps Picture Quote #1

Some Google employees have their self-driving vehicles take them to work. These car robots don’t look like something from ‘The Jetsons’ the driverless features on these cars are a bunch of sensors, wires, and software. This technology ‘works.’ Picture Quote #1

Google says young people don’t care about privacy, but when asked if they’d let their parents see their phone bills and other stuff they say no Picture Quote #1

The Google Voice service is a lifesaver for me. My actual phone number changes a lot, so having a canonical Google Voice number that doesn’t change - it’s actually my same number from high school - is indispensable Picture Quote #1

Google is famous for making the tiniest changes to pixel locations based on the data it accrues through its tests. Google will always choose a spartan webpage that converts over a beautiful page that doesn’t have the data to back it up Picture Quote #1

I grant that people are generally uncomfortable with how fast privacy issues are changing in the world, but Google Glass is not going to move the needle on that Picture Quote #1

Like it or not, Google and the Chinese government are stuck in a tense, long-term relationship, and can look forward to more high-stakes shadow-boxing in the netherworld of the world’s most elaborate system of censorship Picture Quote #1

You have Google, we have Baidu. You have Twitter, we have Weibo. You have Facebook, we have Renren. You have YouTube, we have Youku and Tudou. The Chinese government blocked every single international Web 2.0 service, and we Chinese copycat every one Picture Quote #1
