Google... the inspiration...




"Sergey Brin"... sounds familiar??? "Larry Page"... sounds even more familiar???.. Yes, you have guessed it right... I'm talking about Google.. I can say it as the most influential company of modern era... The company has coined a new english word "google" to the english dictionary.. You can say "google" is the synonym of "search".Almost all netizens use google on everyday basis... At the age of 35, the cofounders (Sergey and Larry) are billionaires.. Have you ever thought how the company generates money?? No company can make this huge amount of money in such a short span of time by simply selling a product... When they started the company back in 1998, they had only one product with them i.e google web site... They knew that their product is solid and robust... So, they came up with a new idea for their revenue model... called "sponsored link".. Let me take this opportunity to say something about "sponsored link"... But before proceeding, wish all of you a very happy Diwali...

Sponsored Link

Google also generates its revenue through ads only... but in a different way.. You'll not find any banner ad in google's site.. it is against their rule... instead they give the ads through sponsored link...Let us understand what a sponsored link is all about.. Suppose you own an Indian restaurant (for your business) and you want to give its ad through Google.. and the speciality of your restaurant is fish curry. You want to highlight this part for your restaurant... Then make your key word as "fish curry" and give it to google. So, anyone who will search with the key word "fish curry" in google, your sponsored link will be displayed in the sponsored link area of google page... if the searching guy clicks on the sponsored link (it will redirect the page to your actual ad) then only you need to pay for your ad.. Before that point you need not pay anything to google... So, this marketing strategy is win - win situation for both google and the customer... So, the funda is that, if anyone visits your ad then only you need to pay the money... this is not like the banner ad... that whether anyone sees your ad or not you need to pay the money...

Bottom line... always think and act for the betterment of the customer.. If customer is happy then the service provider will be happier...

Thanks,

Prior to the existance of Google there were many search engines name it like the Yahoo,Open Text,The Google of its day,Alta Vista,etc...Ironically, Google is now the oldest of the "new" players that has taken over from the old.By many different measures, it is today's the most popular search engine in use.

Here goes a famous quote very rightly said , “Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas,
but the courage that one has to
bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.” And this is what the pioneers of Google did by making Google simple,fast,easy and user friendly.
Since Google embodies within it the mastery of simplicity,i.e creativity and even
the mastery of complexity,i.e technical skill ,so they stand for where they are today.

“Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found”.So, in the long run Google has succeeded but nobody knows there might be new breeds in creation to sweep the market ,may be a "new" player or Google itself.Time will speak of it.Just wait and watch since technology is vast and ideas have no limits...

Cheers,
Annie.

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he...

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue...

Work from home..

I've a very strong feeling that the usage of modern technology will take India to the next level. The sooner we implement, the better for country.. These days Work From Home culture is a reality. In India, some MNCs and Indian IT companies have adopted this culture. However, majority of the chunk have not yet adopted. Let us understand how the 'WORK FROM HOME' culture can be implemented in all the iT companies: 1. Work: People can work through VPN connection using office laptop. 2. Meeting: By using dedicated bridge, all employees can attend meetings through phone. 3. Presentation: Many softwares are available e.g. 'Windows Meeting Space' can be used for any kind of online demonstration. 4. Video conference: SKYPE can be used for video conference. Advantages: a) There will be less traffic on road b) Less cubicles are required in office space c) People will save money from fuel expenditure and many more.. Disadvantages: a) Initial infrastructure cost e.g. providing l...
