How has Google done it? Veteran technology reporter Steven Levy was granted unprecedented access to the company, and in this revelatory book he takes readers inside Google headquarters—the Googleplex—to show how Google works. <P>While they were still students at Stanford, Google cofounders Larry Page and Sergey Brin revolutionized Internet search. They followed this brilliant innovation with another, as two of Google’s earliest employees found a way to do what no one else had: make billions of dollars from Internet advertising. With this cash cow (until Google’s IPO nobody other than Google management had any idea how lucrative the company’s ad business was), Google was able to expand dramatically and take on other transformative projects: more efficient data centers, open-source cell phones, free Internet video (YouTube), cloud computing, digitizing books, and much more. <P>The key to Google’s success in all these businesses, Levy reveals, is its engineering mind-set and adoption of such Internet values as speed, openness, experimentation, and risk taking. After its unapologetically elitist approach to hiring, Google pampers its engineers—free food and dry cleaning, on-site doctors and masseuses—and gives them all the resources they need to succeed. Even today, with a workforce of more than 23,000, Larry Page signs off on every hire. <P>But has Google lost its innovative edge? It stumbled badly in China—Levy discloses what went wrong and how Brin disagreed with his peers on the China strategy—and now with its newest initiative, social networking, Google is chasing a successful competitor for the first time. Some employees are leaving the company for smaller, nimbler start-ups. Can the company that famously decided not to be evil still compete? <P>No other book has ever turned Google inside out as Levy does with <I>In the Plex</I>.01593271840http://www.amazon.com/Google-Way-Company-Revolutionizing-Management/dp/1593271840%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840Technical Detailshttp://www.amazon.com/Google-Way-Company-Revolutionizing-Management/dp/tech-data/1593271840%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840Add To Baby Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/baby/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1593271840%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840Add To Wedding Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wedding/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1593271840%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840Add To Wishlisthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1593271840%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840Tell A Friendhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/taf/1593271840%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840All Customer Reviewshttp://www.amazon.com/review/product/1593271840%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840All Offershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1593271840%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1593271840503557http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L.jpg500333http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL30_.jpg3020http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL110_.jpg11073http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41UnAZWmT0L.jpg500333Bernard GirardHardcover9781593271848978159327184811593271840197918117630No Starch PressEnglishUnknownEnglishOriginal LanguageEnglishPublished2495USD$24.95No Starch Press1256126898115606BookABIS_BOOK2009-04-17No Starch PressACOMMP2_book_new_1593271840No Starch PressThe Google Way: How One Company Is Revolutionizing Management as We Know It175USD$1.751821USD$18.212500USD$25.0092400Product Description<DIV><p>Shortly after World War I, Ford and GM created the large modern corporation, with its financial and statistical controls, mass production, and assembly lines.

The company’s fresh-from-grad-school leaders sought more than old notions of success; they wanted to make all the information in the world available to everyone—instantly.

No academic analysis or bystander’s account can capture it. Now Doug Edwards, Employee Number 59, offers the first inside view of Google, giving readers a chance to fully experience the bizarre mix of camaraderie and competition at this phenomenal company. Edwards, Google’s first director of marketing and brand management, describes it as it happened. We see the first, pioneering steps of Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the company’s young, idiosyncratic partners; the evolution of the company’s famously nonhierarchical structure (where every employee finds a problem to tackle or a feature to create and works independently); the development of brand identity; the races to develop and implement each new feature; and the many ideas that never came to pass. Above all, Edwards—a former journalist who knows how to write—captures the “Google Experience,” the rollercoaster ride of being part of a company creating itself in a whole new universe. <BR><BR><I>I’m Feeling Lucky</I> captures for the first time the unique, self-invented, yet profoundly important culture of the world’s most transformative corporation. <br> <br><DIV></DIV> <span class="h1"><strong> Amazon Exclusive: A Q&A with Douglas Edwards</strong></span> <br /> <br /> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>Why is <i>I’m Feeling Lucky</i> different from other books about Google?</b> <p><strong> A:</strong> There have been many fine books written about Google and its impact on the world, but all have been told from an outsider’s perspective. <i>I’m Feeling Lucky</i> is a personal accounting of what it felt like to be part of the company as it grew from sixty people to tens of thousands. I was a forty-one-year-old middle manager thrust into an unfamiliar world ruled by two brilliant founders with a unique management style, and the book details how difficult it was for me to make the adjustment.</p> <p>Personal anecdotes are interspersed with an explanation of the key events in Google’s technical development, largely told in the words of those who actually built the systems that made Google work as fast and well as it does. Many of these individuals have remained anonymous until now.</p> <p><i>I’m Feeling Lucky</i> is really aimed at those who are interested both in what Google did to ensure success during its formative years and how it felt to be an ill-prepared participant dropped into the heart of an exploding startup.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>What is it really like to work with co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin?</b> <img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/HomifEMS/DouglasEdwards.jpg" border="0" align="right"> <p><strong>A:</strong> On a personal level, I found them to be pretty easy-going and approachable. Sergey has a wicked sense of humor and Larry always struck me as very sincere. They liked to surround themselves with intelligent, open minded, curious, and energetic people, who were not afraid to challenge their ideas. They always wanted people to think on a grander scale than they typically did and they didn't like people saying "no" rather than "here's a better way to do that." They didn't get hung up on titles, academic pedigree, or tenure at the company if an idea was a good one.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>What is the Google workplace like compared to other companies'?</b> <p><strong>A:</strong> Compared to every other place I had worked, it was pretty wonderful. We had free meals every day that were as good as any served by the finest local restaurants, great workout facilities, massage therapists and doctors on staff, and an annual ski trip for all employees. On the other hand, the stress and demands were constant and intense. I went through a couple of weeks at the <i>Mercury News</i> during a newspaper circulation war that really challenged me. At Google, it was like that every day for my five years at the company. We were expected to be available every hour of every day and lots of key decisions were made after midnight. If I wasn’t there for the discussion, the decision was made without my input.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>In the book, you relay some very heated discussions about how Google dealt with user privacy issues. What were the most significant problems, and how did you handle them as one of the chief marketing executives? </b> <p><strong>A:</strong> The biggest privacy issue during my time at Google related to the launch of Gmail and the fact that it scanned mail to insert content-related ads in users’ inboxes. That created a firestorm that engulfed the company and was very hard to extinguish. There were many contributing factors, but at its heart was the fact that engineers knew no person was reading user mail to insert ads and so insisted that there was NO privacy issue. While technically correct, this perspective denied the concerns of users who did not share the same trust and confidence in Google that its engineering staff did. The founders’ insistence on not acknowledging users’ fears made it difficult to respond to them in a sensitive manner. Eventually, we were able to get enough Gmail accounts out to journalists and opinion leaders to begin turning the tide, but the process was painful and damaging to Google’s brand.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>What was it really like behind the scenes of the Google-AOL deal?</b> <p><strong>A:</strong> The negotiations with AOL were challenging and unpleasant for those involved from the Google side. AOL had little interest in Google initially, other than as a weapon to wield against Overture—the leading supplier of search-related advertising at the time. Overture and Google fought a pitched battle to win the account, which was worth more than a billion dollars in revenue, and threw everything they could at each other as AOL stood above the fray, egging them on.</p> <p>Even as AOL became aware that Google’s technology and ad relevance were superior to those of its competitor, and Google’s potential for revenue generation was greater, they demanded more and more in terms of outrageous payment guarantees and access to the company’s proprietary algorithms. When AOL ultimately signed the contract with Google, Overture tried one last desperate ploy to sabotage the deal.</p> <p>AOL’s enormous traffic guaranteed the success of Google’s ad network, but as my book details, taking them on as a client was a high risk gamble that could easily have destroyed Google and driven it into bankruptcy.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>What do you regard as your most significant accomplishment while at Google?</b> <p><strong>A:</strong> From a marketing perspective, I would say it was creating and enforcing a brand architecture that put all of our emphasis on Google itself, instead of on innumerable individual sub-brands. Because of that, the Google name has not been diluted by competing with its own products. The only two exceptions during my time at the company were the social networking experiment orkut and the product search service Froogle. I argued against the latter name and lost, but ultimately Google recognized its mistake and changed the branding to "Google product search," which is what I had recommended.</p> <p>Other areas I was proud to be part of included the company’s response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the formulation of Google’s corporate credo ("Ten things we’ve found to be true"), writing Google’s April Fools jokes, and launching a highly visible engineering recruitment campaign.</p> <p><strong>Q:</strong> <b>What should people know about Google that they don’t already know?</b> <p><strong> A:</strong> People who only know Google as an omnipresent, omniscient online service should realize that the company began as a small group of well-intentioned geeks who truly wanted to make the world a better place. Along the way, the company was forced to confront the reality that the world didn’t always see things from the same perspective, but the strength of their convictions led Google’s executives to forge ahead regardless. The founders simply didn’t have the patience to wait for the rest of the world to figure out that they were right. This hubris was present from the very beginning and is the source of many of Google’s current conflicts. <i>I’m Feeling Lucky</i> helps readers to understand how that attitude was formed and forged by specific events that occurred early in the company’s history. That background will help readers better grasp why Google does things the way it does today.</p> </p> <hr size="1" /> 0031609997Xhttp://www.amazon.com/Are-Smart-Enough-Work-Google/dp/031609997X%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XTechnical Detailshttp://www.amazon.com/Are-Smart-Enough-Work-Google/dp/tech-data/031609997X%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XAdd To Baby Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/baby/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D031609997X%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XAdd To Wedding Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wedding/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D031609997X%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XAdd To Wishlisthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D031609997X%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XTell A Friendhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/taf/031609997X%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XAll Customer Reviewshttp://www.amazon.com/review/product/031609997X%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997XAll Offershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/031609997X%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D031609997X3981http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL.jpg500333http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL30_.jpg3020http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL110_.jpg11073http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL._SL160_.jpg160107http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41ZVBgxj6GL.jpg500333William PoundstoneHardcover97803160999749780316099974031609997X185060091125Little, Brown and CompanyEnglishUnknownEnglishOriginal LanguageEnglishPublished1999USD$19.99Little, Brown and Company1304110840100560BookABIS_BOOK2012-01-04Little, Brown and CompanyACOUK_book_usedgood_031609997XLittle, Brown and CompanyAre You Smart Enough to Work at Google?: Trick Questions, Zen-like Riddles, Insanely Difficult Puzzles, and Other Devious Interviewing Techniques You ...

Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, this fast-moving narrative reveals how an unorthodox management style and culture of innovation enabled a search engine to shake up Madison Avenue and Wall Street, scoop up YouTube, and battle Microsoft at every turn. Not afraid of controversy, Google is expanding in Communist China and quietly working on a searchable genetic database, initiatives that test the founders' guiding mantra: DON'T BE EVIL.00061709719http://www.amazon.com/What-Would-Google-Jeff-Jarvis/dp/0061709719%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719Technical Detailshttp://www.amazon.com/What-Would-Google-Jeff-Jarvis/dp/tech-data/0061709719%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719Add To Baby Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/baby/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D0061709719%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719Add To Wedding Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wedding/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D0061709719%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719Add To Wishlisthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D0061709719%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719Tell A Friendhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/taf/0061709719%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719All Customer Reviewshttp://www.amazon.com/review/product/0061709719%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0061709719All Offershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0061709719%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJSH265FJRE5VMHNQ%26tag%3Dextremeresult-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D006170971941814http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL75_.jpg7547http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL160_.jpg160100http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL.jpg500312http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL30_.jpg3019http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL75_.jpg7547http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL75_.jpg7547http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL110_.jpg11069http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL._SL160_.jpg160100http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KjZfASbeL.jpg500312Jeff JarvisHardcover97800617097159780061709715First Edition first Printing006170971997928101626HarperBusinessEnglishUnknownEnglishOriginal LanguageEnglishPublished2699USD$26.99HarperBusiness1272120890100630BookABIS_BOOK2009-01-27HarperBusiness2009-01-27G0061709719I5N00HarperBusinessWhat Would Google Do?895USD$8.95108USD$1.081695USD$16.95529260Product Description<blockquote> <p> A bold and vital book that asks and answers the most urgent question of today: What Would Google Do? </p> </blockquote> <p> In a book that's one part prophecy, one part thought experiment, one part manifesto, and one part survival manual, internet impresario and blogging pioneer Jeff Jarvis reverse-engineers Google—the fastest-growing company in history—to discover forty clear and straightforward rules to manage and live by. At the same time, he illuminates the new worldview of the internet generation: how it challenges and destroys, but also opens up vast new opportunities. His findings are counterintuitive, imaginative, practical, and above all visionary, giving readers a glimpse of how everyone and everything—from corporations to governments, nations to individuals—must evolve in the Google era. </p> <p> Along the way, he looks under the hood of a car designed by its drivers, ponders a worldwide university where the students design their curriculum, envisions an airline fueled by a social network, imagines the open-source restaurant, and examines a series of industries and institutions that will soon benefit from this book's central question. </p> <p> The result is an astonishing, mind-opening book that, in the end, is not about Google.

This comprehensive and easy-to-follow new book enables you to explore Google's new office applications in detail. Once you do, you'll be in good company -- more than 100,000 small businesses and some corporations are already looking to take advantage of these free Google offerings.<br><br><I>Google Apps: The Missing Manual</I> teaches you how to use three relatively new applications from Google: "Docs and Spreadsheets", which provide many of the same core tools that you find in Word and Excel; and Google Calendar and Gmail, the applications that offer an alternative to Outlook. This book demonstrates how these applications together can ease your ability to collaborate with others, and allow you access to your documents, mail and appointments from any computer at any location.<br><br> Of course, as remarkable as these applications are, Google's office suite is definitely a work-in-progress. Navigating what you can and can't do and -- more importantly -- understanding how to do it isn't always easy.

This book:</p><ul><li>Explains how to create, save and share each of Google's web-based office applications</li> <li>Offers separate sections for Docs and Spreadsheets, Google Calendar, and Gmail</li> <li>Demonstrates how to use these applications in conjunction with one another</li> <li>Gives you crystal-clear and jargon-free explanations that will satisfy users of all technical levels</li> </ul> Many of you already use Gmail, but do you know its full potential? Do you know how you can increase its power by using Gmail with Doc and Spreadsheets and Google Calendar? You'll find out with <I>Google Apps: The Missing Manual</I>. You'll also come to understand why large corporations such as General Electric and Proctor & Gamble are taking a long, hard look at these applications.</div>0Amazon.com Review A free alternative to Microsoft Office? Google Apps gives you that plus plenty of bonus reasons to switch: collaborate on documents with others at the same time; whip up a Web page stocked with downloadable files; and work on it all from any Web-connected computer. About the only thing Google doesn't offer is a guide like <i>Google Apps: The Missing Manual</i>--the authoritative and reader-friendly way to break free of Office. <br/><br/> <span class="h1"><strong>Top 14 Google Docs Tricks</strong></span> <br/> 1. If you install Google Gears (http://gears.google.com/), you can edit Docs word-processing documents offline, and Docs automatically syncs them with the online version the next time you sign in online.<br/> 2. If you make other folks collaborators on Docs documents and spreadsheets, everyone can work on the files simultaneously. To invite collaborators, head to the upper-right Share button (for documents) or Share tab (for spreadsheets).<br/> 3. It’s a snap to publish documents created in Docs as blog posts—just select "Publish as web page" from the Share menu, and then click the "Post to blog" button.<br/> 4. If you want to embed a Docs presentation in a Web site, just go to the Publish tab, click "Publish document", and then copy the HTML that appears in the Mini Presentation Module box. Paste the code into your site’s HTML, upload the revised version of the site, and voilà!<br/> 5. Google gives you a whole slew of functions to help make working with spreadsheets more efficient. For the complete list, go to www.docs.google.com/support/spreadsheets. (The GoogleLookup function is particularly nifty.)<br/> 6. If your Docs list is getting cluttered, you can hide files (documents, spreadsheets, or presentations) to keep your list clean. Just turn on the checkbox next to any file you want to hide (you can select more than one), and then click the Hide button. To make a hidden file reappear, find All Items in the left-hand menu and, if necessary, click its + sign to expand it. Then click Hidden to see your hidden files; select the one(s) you want to see in your Docs list, and then click Unhide.<br/> 7. You can easily turn spreadsheet data into all kinds of charts: column, bar, pie, line, area, or scatter. To create a chart, open your spreadsheet to the Edit tab, select the range of cells you want to convert into a chart, and then click the "Add chart" button. In the Create Chart box that appears, tell Docs what kind of chart you want to create and fill in the other info it needs, and then click "Save chart."<br/> 8. If you create a chart based on a Docs spreadsheet, you can save it as an image and insert it into a Docs document. After you create your chart, click its upper-left Chart link and select "Save image". Save it to your computer, and then open the document you want to put it in. Click Insert and select Image, then tell Docs where to find the file on your computer.<br/> 9. If you don’t like a change that you (or someone else) made to one of your Docs files, no problem. Just head to that file’s revision history (click File and then choose "Revision history") and pick a previous version that you like better.<br/> 10. If you’re working on a computer that doesn’t have Adobe Reader and you need to print a document, click Share and select "View as web page (Preview)" to open the formatted document as a Web page. You can then print it from your Web browser. The formatting isn’t quite as good as if you print from a PDF—and you’ll probably have the browser’s header and footer—but all the content is there.<br/> 11. If you’ve published a Docs document as a Web page, you can make the Web page update automatically whenever you edit the document. Just click Share and select "Publish as web page"; then turn on the "Automatically republish when changes are made" checkbox. <br/> 12. To see how your Docs document will look to folks you share it with, click the Share This Document page’s "Preview document as a viewer" link. If the preview doesn’t look quite right, then go back and edit the document before you share it.<br/> 13. You can add YouTube videos to your Docs presentations. In the blue bar above the edit pane, click "Insert video". Google opens a box where you can search YouTube videos by keyword. Find the one you want and click it to select it. Then click the Insert Video button to put the video on your slide. Once it’s there, you can move, resize, or delete it, just like any image or shape. During a slideshow, viewers can play the video by clicking the Play button on its slide.<br/> 14. When you’ve got several collaborators editing the same document all at once, have each person choose a different color for his text to help sort out who made what changes. (The simplest thing is to have each person use the same text and highlight color.) Then, when you finalize the document, simply select the whole thing and click the "Text color" button to change the rainbow of text colors to basic black.<br/><br/> <span class="h1"><strong>Top 10 Cool Things about Gmail</strong></span> <br/> 1. Gmail’s system of organizing emails into conversations (a collection of all the messages in an exchange) makes it easy to keep track of the various messages in a discussion.<br/> 2. You can access Gmail from a cellphone or other mobile device. Just start up your phone’s browser and point it to http://gmail.com to sign in.<br/> 3. Although you can have periods in your Gmail address, Gmail doesn’t actually recognize periods—it treats the address exactly the same with or without the periods. So if your Gmail address is jesse.smith@gmail.com, emails sent to jessesmith@gmail.com or even j.e.s.s.e.s.m.i.t.h@gmail.com will reach you. <br/> 4. If you’re reading an email and want to set up a filter for this message and similar ones, click More Actions and select "Filter messages like these". (You can also select messages in a mailbox, and then choose this option.) Gmail shows the filter options with the sender’s From address already filled in. From there, you can filter by sender and/or any of the other filtering criteria. <br/> 5. Gmail scans your emails, looks for keywords, and then pairs the email with advertising that relates to those keywords. Usually, one ad’s displayed above the message you’re reading and several others are on the right-hand side of the page (they’re easy to ignore). But Gmail tries to keep things tasteful, so if you receive an email about a tragedy, such as a death in the family, you won’t see any ads at all.<br/> 6. You can set up your Gmail account so that messages sent to your other email accounts arrive in your Gmail inbox. That way, you can check all your email accounts in one place. Even better, in Gmail, you can send emails so that they look like they come from your various email accounts.<br/> 7. If you write emails in more than one language, Gmail tries to guess the language of the email you’re working on and uses the appropriate dictionary. (If Gmail’s wrong, next to the Check Spelling link, click the arrow, and, from the list that appears, select the language you want.)<br/> 8. You can chat with your AOL Instant Messenger buddies through Gmail’s version of Google Talk. In Gmail’s left-hand Chat section, click the Options link and select "Sign into AIM", then follow the directions.<br/> 9. To help protect you from viruses and other Internet threats, Gmail neither sends nor receives executable files—they typically have the file extension .exe—which can launch programs and wreak havoc on your computer.<br/> 10. Instead of folders to file your messages in, Gmail uses labels to organize messages. You can assign more than one label to a message, so you have several ways of finding it and don’t have to remember which folder you put it in.<br/> <br/> <span class="h1"><strong>11 Ways to Save Time with Google Apps</strong></span><br/> 1. With Google Docs, you and your coworkers can edit the same document simultaneously, so you don’t have to waste time emailing files or tracking down the current version.<br/> 2. Put the Gmail gadget on your iGoogle page so you know right away when new email lands in your inbox (and can read it with one click).<br/> 3. When you’re away from a computer, check your Google Calendar events and appointments by sending a quick text message from your cell phone. Send one of these messages to GVENT (48368):<br/> <li>"Next" to get a message about the next event in your calendar.<br/> </li><li>"Day" to get a message listing all of today’s events.<br/> </li><li>"Nday" to get a message listing tomorrow’s events.</li> 4. Don’t waste time waiting around for a friend or coworker to answer your email. Use Google Talk to see at a glance whether the other person is online; if she is, click her name to start chatting. 5. Quit slowing yourself down by reaching for the mouse. Use the keyboard shortcuts available for Google Docs (http://documents.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66280), Gmail (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=6594), and Google Calendar (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en-ch&answer=37034) to bring your data entry up to power-user speed.<br/> 6. If you use Firefox or Internet Explorer to browse the Web, install the Google Toolbar so you can keep an eye on Gmail, add events to your Calendar, and open files as you zip around the Web.<br/> 7. Use Gmail’s colored labels so you can scan your messages and quickly find what you’re looking for. Or simply use Gmail’s awesome search feature to zero in on a message.<br/> 8. Creating a Web site? Don’t get flummoxed by HTML, CSS, or any other what-the-heck-does-that-mean acronym. Use Google Page Creator, which comes preloaded with layouts and color-coordinated themes so you can see your pages as you build them.<br/> 9. Speed up data gathering by creating a form that automatically feeds data into a Google Docs spreadsheet: Create a new spreadsheet, and then click the Share tab. In the "Invite people" section, turn on the "to fill out a form" radio button, and then click "Start editing your form". The form can have text boxes, multiple choice lists, checkboxes, and radio buttons. Click "Next, choose recipients" and specify who’ll receive the form. You can publish the form to the Web or embed it in your Web site or blog. When someone fills out the form, the info goes straight into your spreadsheet. <br/> 10. Send or receive files as you chat in Google Talk—no waiting around for someone to remember to send them via email or drop them off at your desk.

In <i>Search & Destroy</i>, Google expert Scott Cleland, shows that the world's most powerful company is not who it pretends to be. <P>Google pretends to be a harmless lamb, but chose a full-size model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex as its mascot. Beware the T-Rex in sheep's clothing. <P>Google has acquired far more information, both public and private, and has invented more ways to use it, than anyone in history. Information is power, and in Google's case, it's the power to influence and control virtually everything the Internet touches. Google's power is largely unchecked, unaccountable and grossly underestimated. Google is the Internet's lone superpower, the new master of the digital information universe. And Google's power depends almost entirely on the blind trust it has gained through masterful duplicity. Google routinely says one thing and does another. <P>Cleland proves the world's #1 brand untrustworthy. He exposes the unethical company hiding behind a Don't Be Evil slogan. He uncovers Google's hidden political agenda. And he reveals how Google's famed mission to organize the world's information is destructive and wrong. Cleland is the first to critically examine where Google is leading us, explain why we don t want to go there, and propose straightforward solutions. <P>Google's unprecedented centralization of power over the world's information is corrupting both Google and the Internet, a natural result of unchecked power. Google is evolving from an information servant to master, from working for users, to making users work for the Internet behemoth. <P><i>Search & Destroy</i> conclusively demonstrates that Google's goal is to change the world by influencing and controlling information access. Ultimately, Google's immense unchecked power is destructive precisely because Google is so shockingly-political, unethical and untrustworthy.0
