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…
Google typically puts out a lot of great year-end content related to their search engine product. It usually involves lists of the most searched phrases or stories throughout the year. And this year, they've taken their fantastic data and turned it into a video, and the resulting product, "Zeitgeist 2011 Year In Review," ends up ...
According to a new thread last week over at the Google forums, YouTube is in the midst of making some changes to the YouTube Friends and Subscriptions system.

As our readers know, Hangouts has long been one of the best features Google Plus has to offer, with up to 10 people in a single video chat at once--we're even holding our monthly ReelSEO writers' call on Hangouts. And now some ...
I just got the big list of all new apps this week on the Xbox 360 dashboard. While YouTube might be one of the more interesting for many, I found the list to be both diverse in content (some aren't about video) and location. For example, some of the apps are Rogers on Demand (Rogers ...
One of the headaches that YouTube has been having is keeping music copyright holders happy when someone posts a video of a song cover or has a song playing in the background. It must seem like a music free-for-all for those who created songs and are seeing others profit from them. Well, just last week, ...
Last week, I wrote, “It’s almost December and it’s fairly easy to predict what’s going to happen next month. Everyone from the Official YouTube Blog to the Meme Machine to Visible Measures will take a look at the top YouTube trends in 2011.” I added, “If what’s past is prologue, then ‘YouTube's New Year Countdown,’ ...
Without even a hint of doubt, the biggest online video news story of the week came at the end of the week, on Thursday, when YouTube blindsided users with an unexpected wide rollout of a new YouTube redesign heavy on social interaction and customization. Of course there were plenty of other big stories in online ...
Wow. YouTube forum admins are about to really earn their money. YouTube today unveiled a brand new home page design. It's bold, darker, and has a new layout. It's only been hours since the launch, and I've yet to truly get a feel for the new YouTube, but I can say this much: any redesign ...
YouTube today announced YouTube Analytics, calling it "the next generation in Insight." Insight has always been, in my opinion, an underused tool. But while it's extremely useful, it's never been all I hoped it could be in terms of... well... insight. With YouTube Analytics, YouTube promises you'll learn far more about your video audience than ...
It wasn't very long ago that Google moved to a new design for their "Google navigation bar" that sits across the top of the browser, creating a simple but bold black bar with simple links to other Google services. Today Google announced the next evolution of that Google bar, which begins rolling out to users ...
Over Thanksgiving it was announced that long-running ABC soaps One Life to Live and All My Children would not, in fact, be reincarnated as web series as was planned. One Life to Live will end in January while All My Children ended, what turns out for good, in September. As always, the problem turned out ...

Greetings, and Happy Day After Thanksgiving--AKA Black Friday. While many of you might be out standing in line for new video gadgets on sale or being trampled at Wal-Mart by the masses, some of you are back to work, fighting the turkey hangover. You didn't think I would make you endure a Friday without a ...
Wha?! Really?! Those sneaky so-and-so's! You might all recall me being a proponent of Samsung because of the way they've been handling their three screen strategy but now, they've outdone even my expectations. They just announced that they're in final talks to produce Samsung Google TV units. Then again, they already showed it off in ...
