If anyone of you has read my review on Top 10 websites, you will find that https://google.com is a hot favourite of mine. And then it is just not my opinion only, All the reviewers here have agreed that it is one of the best. Many of them have done a wonderful job writing its praises. I too and joining the bandwagon.
’’Googol’’ is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros(first coined by Milton Sirotta). It’s a very large number. This is mainly the aim of Google. - to have a very large number of ’’satisfied’’ customers by way of storing an almost infinite number of information in its servers.
The founders of this marvellous site are founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin . To know more about the history behind the site visit https://google.com/corporate/history.html
So what makes google a hit with me? Read on...
Presentation style: All its services are neatly presented, easily accessible and very helpful thanks to the tabbed interface
Good Aesthetics: the color combinations are soothing.
Accurate results: Yup I bank on them for evey search.
Automatic redirection: In case of spelling mistakes or ambiguious search strings, Google automatically suggests a possible string and even redirects you to the new search page.
Image Search: I m not sure but I guess, google pioneered this image search. It is a great help indeed.
The Google toolbar: The best of all the services. One need not go to the url to key in the search string. Just type it in the toolbar and yippie come the results. To top that its not heavy on the system resources too!
Speed: One of the most important attributes!! Google’s search Algorithms are highly efficient as well as fast.
Its Free: yup !! yup!! need I say more?
Kudos to the founders and I do really hope that google improves in leaps and bounds.
