Corporate Google - the GooglePlex, the Business, and Beyond
Here is some information about Google corporate life and current events, including Google corporate culture, business moves, and the major players at Google.
I love Google April Fool's Day jokes. There's always something fun on the main page, and often there's more fun at individual services. My favorite joke has always been the 2004 release of Gmail, since it wasn't a joke, but the features and service they offered at the time made it seem like they had to be kidding.
Google is known for their unique company culture, and along with this, they've introduced or popularized some interesting phrases. Not all of these terms were coined by Google, but all of them have been used by Google. See how many of these you've heard before.
Not every Google product is made of gold. Google encourages experimentation, and that leads to both success and failure. Here's a gallery of some of those not so golden Google products.
Google announced a deal to purchase DoubleClick for 3.1 billion dollars on April 13th, 2007. The deal would be extremely beneficial for both Google and DoubleClick, but it has some competitors worried about antitrust issues.
On March 22, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) Brave New Films, and Moveon.organnounced that they were suing Viacom for requesting the removal of a video they did not feel was infringing on Viacom's copyright.
Google purchased Adscape Media in March 2007 for an undisclosed amount. Adscape provides in-game advertising for video games.
Viacom announced they were suing Google over alleged copyright infringement on the Google owned YouTube video hosting site.
