Google never knew how successful key words would be.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The story of Google is just when everyone concluded that a search engine would never make any money, everyone backed out of it, and Google walked into that vacuum and dominated.
Google is very much a not-invented-here, build-it-ourselves culture.
The turning point for me was realizing that I would learn more at Google, trying to build a company, regardless of whether we failed or succeeded, than I would at any of the other companies I had offers from.
Most of the great businesses of our time have experimented. Like Google.

Some say Google is God. Others say Google is Satan. But if they think Google is too powerful, remember that with search engines unlike other companies, all it takes is a single click to go to another search engine.
Google is where we go for answers. People used to go elsewhere or, more likely, stagger along not knowing.
Google has a great product. They've built a great business.
The reason that Google was such a success is because they were the first ones to take advantage of the self-organizing properties of the web. It's in ecological sustainability. It's in the developmental power of entrepreneurship, the ethical power of democracy.
The only thing Google has failed to do, so far, is fail.
