The Google Story

The Google Story

The strength of the book comes from its command of many small details, and its focus on the human side of the Google story, as opposed to the merely academic one. Some may prefer a dryer, more analytic approach to Google's impact on the Internet, like The Search or books that tilt more heavily towards bits and bytes on the spectrum between technology and business, like The Singularity is Near. Those wanting to understand the motivations and personal growth of founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt, however, will enjoy this book. Vise and Malseed interviewed over 150 people, including numerous Google employees, Wall Street analysts, Stanford professors, venture capitalists, even Larry Page's Cub Scout leader, and their comprehensiveness shows.

As the narrative unfolds, readers learn how Google grew out of the intellectually fertile and not particularly directed friendship between Page and Brin; how the founders attempted to peddle early versions of their search technology to different Silicon Valley firms for $1 million; how Larry and Sergey celebrated their first investor's check with breakfast at Burger King; how the pair initially housed their company in a Palo Alto office, then eventually moved to a futuristic campus dubbed the "Googleplex"; how the company found its financial footing through keyword-targeted Web ads; how various products like Google News, Froogle, and others were cooked up by an inventive staff; how Brin and Page proved their mettle as tough businessmen through negotiations with AOL Europe and their controversial IPO process, among other instances; and how the company's vision for itself continues to grow, such as geographic expansion to China and cooperation with Craig Venter on the Human Genome Project.

Like the company it profiles, The Google Story is a bit of a wild ride, and fun, too. Its first appendix lists 23 "tips" which readers can use to get more utility out of Google. The second contains the intelligence test which Google Research offers to prospective job applicants, and shows the sometimes zany methods of this most unusual business. Through it all, Vise and Malseed synthesize a variety of fascinating anecdotes and speculation about Google, and readers seeking a first draft of the history of the company will enjoy an easy read. --Peter HanDescription: "Here is the story behind one of the most remarkable Internet successes of our time. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, the book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company whose name is a favorite brand and a standard verb recognized around the world. Its stock is worth more than General Motors’ and Ford’s combined, its staff eats for free in a dining room that used to be run by the Grateful Dead’s former chef, and its employees traverse the firm’s colorful Silicon Valley campus on scooters and inline skates.

THE GOOGLE STORY is the definitive account of the populist media company powered by the world’s most advanced technology that in a few short years has revolutionized access to information about everything for everybody everywhere.
In 1998, Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words, “change the world” through a search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free.

While the company has done exactly that in more than one hundred languages, Google’s quest continues as it seeks to add millions of library books, television broadcasts, and more to its searchable database.
Readers will learn about the amazing business acumen and computer wizardry that started the company on its astonishing course; the secret network of computers delivering lightning-fast search results; the unorthodox approach that has enabled it to challenge Microsoft’s dominance and shake up Wall Street. Even as it rides high, Google wrestles with difficult choices that will enable it to continue expanding while sustaining the guiding vision of its founders’ mantra: DO NO EVIL."Description: David A. Vise is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Washington Post and the author of three books, including the New York Times bestseller The Bureau and the Mole. Mark Malseed, who has contributed to the Washington Post and the Boston Herald, has won high praise for his research efforts on Bob Woodward’s recent books, Plan of Attack and Bush at War.


From the Hardcover edition.

• Review:: 'An enjoyable read For readers both familiar and unfamiliar (hard to imagine) with the influence of Google on our rapidly changing society, The Google Story is the fascinating and well written story of Google's past, present, and future. An enjoyable read that also successfully captures the character of both Google founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
• Review:: 'Informative but Hardly the Last Word on Google Curious how Google became a global brand faster than anyone else in history? The Google Story gives some insight on that and many more questions about founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the technology, the organization, and its opportunities. This book follows Google's evolution from the very start and, to some extent, provides a sense of the atmosphere in which its legendary breakthroughs were able to occur. It offers a good basic introduction to the history and economics of the search engine business. From a human resources management point of view, the book offers two points of interest. First, it describes the evolution of Google's famed workplace policies, such as 20% free time for pursuit of ideas and inventions. It also provides a fairly good insight into recruiting practices. It includes a copy of the GLAT (Google Labs Aptitude Test), the unusual standardized test the company uses to identify what, in its own blog, it calls "uber-geeks." If you are an employer in high tech, check it out. The book is flawed by a sort of wide-eyed, gee-whiz tone. In more than a few places, the authors seem to have pasted company press releases into the text. The reporting does include some of Google's missteps (for instance, the gmail fiasco several years ago) but hardly takes a exhaustive look at the potentially negative implications of Google's technological ascendancy. This is a quick, informative read but don't expect to feel you've been treated to an exhaustive work on the Google juggernaut or the global impact of search engines.
• Review:: 'Larry And Sergey Did It! The author David Vise not only narrates toward Google's micro-developmental stage, its post-IPO, but also fluently takes Googleplex of Larry Page and Sergey Brin to an outdoor activity, the Burning Man festival. Cozy Menlo Park till ever-expanding Googleplex statistics. Good read!
• Review:: 'Not very good. Reading this, as I did, will give a person a decent high-level idea of how google operates, but there is little or no "inside information". The entire book is the result of the authors' having read through interviews and articles, and simply summarizing them into a mostly-chronological account of Google. The first two chapters are rife with such sycophantish gushing as to make me blush and were nearly unreadable. Although the book did get better, there is a lot of repetition from the authors. Somehow, one of them actually has one a pulitzer prize before; he probably should have it revoked. The book comes across as a fairly well done high-school paper, if a teacher asked for an account of Google. There is nothing at all noteworthy, besides the lunacy of statements such as (loosly quoted): "Not since the printing press has there been an invention responsible for such great dissemination of information as Google [and, yes, they said Google, not the internet, which is a far easier argument to make]". The author refers to the two founders' genius and, although early on in the book is emphatic about their adhereance to scholarly goals and not monetary ones, finishes the book emphasizing their wealth, resistance to competition, and things like this. BTW, the two founders recently bought a massive jet full of niceties for their personal travel. I don't slight them for that (if I had that money, I'd do it, too), but pretending they are people not interested in vast wealth is quite untrue.
• Review:: 'great book, shows great insite My friend told me to read this book, and I have already read about one forth of the book, and so far, it is an outstanding book. For me, the book is more of a inspirational model and shows how the "google guys" were determed to do what they wanted to, and even though many did not think it was possible. Brin & Larry did what many people never thought was possible, and because of this, they are where they are today. This book truly shows that no matter what, never give up on a dream. If no one believes in what you do, or shares the same insite, find someone who does, and will help and mentor you.
