Crossing the Finish Line

Amazing! We've arrived at the end of this three-part "Defining Google" series. Give yourself a pat on the back for following it rigorously. I truly hope that you learned lots of new information regarding Google. I bet you also feel better knowing what happens behind the scenes, what to expect, and how to get the most out of what Google offers.

Moreover, I am confident that you have the necessary knowledge to keep up with the pace of some antagonistic nerds' deliberate buzz sessions and ultimately impress them big time! During this series you've gathered a wider perspective by expanding your knowledge of one of the giant corporations of our time - Google Inc.

Anyhow, some may consider that it comes down to general education or common sense to follow the latest IT / technology trends, but the truth is that very few actually invest their time to find out what's beyond. Thus, you have an edge compared to others!

Oh, and you know, I'd advocate checking out Google Labs every now and then. That's where you can find more details about projects and online services that are currently under development -- "a few of our favorite ideas that aren't quite ready for prime time." Of course, you can also help the developers by leaving valuable feedback.

In my opinion the following prototypes sound really promising: Google Code Search (searching for public source code) and Google Trends (this allows us to see what the whole word is searching for). The first would certainly be useful for coders and developers while the latter means fun, but is also valuable for research and statistics.

Once again, I invite you to join us over at "DevHardware Forums" if you want to continue this provocative discussion, because the fact is that countless books can be written and speeches can be given on Google. Likewise, should you need help or friendly consulting on search engine optimization and website marketing and promotion, then don't forget to ask the knowledgeable community at "SEO Chat Forums." Count on us!
