I’m sure most of you already saw the Google facts and figure infographic by Royal Pingdom. It sums up all key numbers and facts about Google such as revenue, profit, people working there, products, etc.

Google started small and grew fast, always keeping to their mantra “Don’t Be Evil” which helped a great deal with [...]

Have you been online and frequenting Unix systems long enough to remember, and have used, the finger command?
For the uninitiated, finger was a command that, given an email address based on a Unix system, allowed various real-world information to be gleaned, depending on what the user wanted to share: usually a real name, a real [...]

There have been a few pairs of rolled eyes online today as people discuss Microsoft’s (currently internal only) URL shortening service.
It’s not surprising, following Google’s use of the goo.gl domain name, that Microsoft might use something based on its Bing search engine, but while Google keeps it nice, short and from Greenland, Microsoft has gone [...]

I’m always curious to know how long companies have been planning their Internet campaigns and services, so when I read about Google’s new URL shortening service (only currently available to Toolbar and Feedburner users) I decided to do a little digging.

First up, they’re using the TLD (top level domain) for Greenland, in order to give [...]

I’m sure, esteemed geeks as most of you are, you already check out reviews of restaurants, clubs and other venues online before you leave your speedy home Internet connection behind, or at least via your 3G or Wi-Fi cellphone on the move.
Sensible move, though it can be a pain to piece together a decent selection [...]

Notice anything different about the Google search front page today?
You should, because Google wants you to notice.

They’ve added some fancy fading in of everything but the search box and logo, so that header and footer menu items only appear if you move your mouse while on the home page.
Fancy, huh?
I know Google’s a pretty big [...]

Mundo Geek has taken a screenshot of a very common sight — the Google recommendation box that pops up when you start searching for something.
Yeah it’s a silly game, but quite fun. Taking it further, here are some more that are worth taking a look at:
Geeks are…

Nerds are…

Ever since it’s launch Bing has been labelled ‘decision engine’ by Microsoft. And go figure what Bing’s recommendation is when you want to search the web… indeed, GOOGLE!

What are you doing for the weekend? Chances are that you have plans laid out. However, if you are still looking for some ideas to have the perfect weekend, here are some interesting ones.
Catch up on your reading. If you have a day job which takes up most of your time during [...]

I wouldn’t mind having one. I am still loving my MSI Wind but a new gadget is always welcome. The rumors are that Google is gathering data that it will need to come up with an Android-powered netbook. On Thursday of last week, people spotted a Google ad on Craigslist which sought [...]

Presumably using his decent screen real estate to ensure that all the required windows were open at the same time, Google software engineer Matt Cutts decided he was going to mix things up over the weekend.

I took one of my domains, dullest.com, and moved it to TigerTech from pair Networks.
I installed the latest version of [...]

I love Google Earth, though it’s one of those apps that I have to limit myself on because otherwise I’d spend all day zooming around its terrain instead of working, eating, sleeping…
So it’s good news that GeoEye has started delivering some of the high-resolution color images from its latest satellite – GeoEye-1 – to Google. [...]

I admit this is a very clever idea for a personal business card. I think even for a company business card, it does encourage people to find you.
I could see people’s eyes… ooohhhh…. so we can look you up in Google? It does validate your “presence” now does it. :)
I’d do this if I am [...]

Yesterday, I had a meeting for about an hour so I was not able to check my personal Gmail for a bit. Neither was I constantly checking my work mail, which is based on Google Apps as well. That is why when I went back to my desk, I was quite surprised to see people [...]

Something good has come from Google this week, Google Latitude. It’s paired with the Google Maps application allowing you to find your friends on the map at any given time. Scary… well, maybe. But don’t worry, as we know Google, this will be safe.
Google Latitude uses Google Maps My Location service that [...]
