Google Inc. is an American multinational public corporation invested in Internet search, cloud computing, and advertising technologies. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services and products, and generates profit primarily from advertising through its AdWords program. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, often dubbed the “Google Guys”, while the two were attending Stanford University as PhD candidates.
It was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998, and its initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004. At that time Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Eric Schmidt agreed to work together at Google for twenty years, until the year 2024. The company’s mission statement from the outset was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful”, and the company’s unofficial slogan – coined by Google engineer Amit Patel and supported by Paul Buchheit – is “Don’t be evil”. In 2006, the company…
On Jan. 4, 2012, Unruly Media announced a $25 million Series A investment from Amadeus Capital Partners, Van den Ende & Deitmers, and Business Growth Fund. Founded in 2006, Unruly has delivered a number of high profile social video campaigns for global brands, including industry classics like “The T-Mobile Dance”, “Evian Roller Babies” and Old ...
This week in our look at the Reel Web we talk about how mobile viewers are watching our videos longer than desktop views are and how Facebook dominates Twitter in video sharing. Also, we review YouTube's new "Slam" voting feature and what they're doing to start fixing the publishing issue that's all too common for ...
A lot changed in 2011. Of course... a lot stayed the same too. Nielsen's year end numbers chart everything from the top web brands to the top social networks and the top online video destinations. And looking over the lists, there's an awful lot of familiar names. For us here at ReelSEO, it's once again ...
Ever since the launch of Google Plus, Paul Allen over at elance has been crunching some numbers based on their company data. And in the rare moments Google has given official numbers, Allen's have been remarkably close--as when Larry Page stated there were over 40 million and Allen's number was 38 million. Now Allen says ...
Any online marketing or SEO professional that dabbles in search work spends most of their time trying to help websites and other content claim a good ranking in the search results. We spend most of our time talking about that side of search as well. But if you're anything like me, you spend a lot ...
Motorola Mobility, who is still being picked up by Google, is picking up SetJam. It's like one of those Matroyshka Doll sets right now. The Google deal with Motorola Mobility is still in review by everyone involved but that's not stopping them from grabbing up some complimentary services.
The video revolution is still a pretty young movement, and sometimes I think we're not really ready for all the challenges its going to bring--specifically with regard to privacy. I've been offering this advice for a few years: wherever you go in life, behave as though you're being filmed, because you probably are. And this ...
There are a ton of potential uses for Google Plus Hangouts, and Google is doing something relatively big to help highlight them--they're putting out another TV commercial. I think I can count on one hand (maybe just a couple fingers) the number of times Google has bothered to advertise on television, so it's something to ...
Just in case you thought Google was going to call their holiday celebrations over with the "let it snow" feature on YouTube and Google search, they had at least one more trick up their sleeve: a custom holiday Google logo doodle that plays Jingle Bells. The celebratory logo is interactive at the start, allowing users ...
So what have we learned from The YouTube Creator Playbook over the past three months? I'll tell you what I got most out of it. Being a success on YouTube requires more than making great content and simply uploading it to the site. In fact, even those people who stumbled into YouTube viral success had ...
A few days ago Google caused a sensation, and cost millions of businesses lost productivity, with a little search Easter egg called "Let It Snow." Typing that exact phrase into the search box caused the page to snow on the results, and you could draw in the "snow" after it fell on the page. And ...
I just saw a post called 10 Tips and Tricks for Google TV that I thought held some interesting stuff in it and I wanted to share it. They are calling some of it 'pro tips' but I'm guessing it might be more to it than that. I'm already 90% certain that there will be massive ...
YouTube seems to have adopted Google’s talent for slipping in quirky new ad placement algorithms with barely a note on the fridge about what’s going on. In my job with an online competitive intelligence (SpyFu) company, I often hear about the sudden changes on the Google side. Since I'm usually the one at the company ...
Well, YouTube can't redesign every week, and they did that last week... so this week's online video news cycle belonged to some of the other players for once. We had several bits of rumor and speculation on the future of Netflix, Google Plus' beefed up Hangouts capabilities, Twitter's redesign which leaves a prominent place for ...
Here's something fun for a Saturday morning. It's not remotely related to video, and only barely related to search, but it's definitely cool and fun.
