Some Fun Google Facts m

•  The prime reason the Google home page is so bare is due to the fact that the founders didn’t know HTML and just wanted a quick interface. In fact it was noted that the submit bu<on was a long Mme coming and hiNng the RETURN key was the only way to burst Google into life. •  Due to the sparseness of the homepage, in early user tests they noted people just siNng looking at the screen. AVer a minute of nothingness, the tester intervened and asked ‘Whats up?’ to which they replied “We are wai1ng for the rest of it”. To solve that parMcular problem the Google Copyright message was inserted to act as a crude end of page marker. •  Employees are encouraged to use 20% of their Mme working on their own projects. Google News, Orkut are both examples of projects that grew from this working model. Google Inside Search m
