00:00Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, while
00:16they were both Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California.
00:22Google was founded on September 4, 1998.
00:26The company's stated mission from the very beginning was to organize the world's information
00:33and make it accessible and useful to everyone.
00:38Google's rapid growth since its founding has led to the emergence of a large number of
00:44products not directly related to the company's main service, the search engine.
00:52In just a few years, the company has grown into a transnational corporation with a capitalization
00:59of hundreds of billions of dollars and has become one of the big four technology companies
01:06along with Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft.
01:11Google experienced rapid growth due to several key factors.
01:161.
01:17Superior Search Algorithm Google's search engine, powered by its innovative
01:25PageRank algorithm, provided more relevant and accurate results compared to competitors
01:33at the time, like Yahoo! and AltaVista.
01:37This helped it gain popularity among users quickly.
01:432.
01:44Simplicity and Speed Google's minimalist old-page design and fast
01:50search results made it user-friendly, distinguishing from other search engines that were cluttered
02:00with heads and legs.
02:033.
02:04Expansion of Services As Google grew, it expanded its services beyond
02:10search, launching Gmail 2004, Google Maps 2005, and Google Earth 2005, among others.
02:21Each of these services contributed to the company's broader ecosystem.
02:284.
02:29AdWords and AdSense Google's advertising model, particularly AdWords,
02:36allowed businesses to advertise on Google's search results, generating substantial revenue.
02:44The introduction of AdSense allowed web publishers to earn money by placing Google ads on their
02:51websites, greatly expanding Google's reach.
02:575.
02:58Equations Google made strategic equations that accelerated
03:03its growth, including buying YouTube in 2006, Android in 2005, and DoubleClick in 2007.
03:146.
03:16International Expansion Google expanded its reach worldwide, offering
03:22localized services in multiple languages, making it a global leader in the search market.
03:347.
03:35Cloud Computing Google also invested heavily in cloud computing
03:40and data infrastructure, helping it scale services efficiently.
03:47By reinvesting its revenue into new products, technological innovations, and acquisitions,
03:56Google maintained its momentum, ultimately evolving from a search engine to a dominant
04:04tech giant.
