Google is very much a not-invented-here, build-it-ourselves culture.

All the information in the world has been pretty dispersed, but Google's mission has been to organize it and make it universally accessible.

Eeew, I'd be a little uncomfortable Googling myself. People sit there - and Google themselves? That's kind of weird.

Given that my title at Google is Chief Internet Evangelist, I feel like there is this great challenge before me because we have three billion users, and there are seven billion people in the world.

Google is where we go for answers. People used to go elsewhere or, more likely, stagger along not knowing.

I have Googled myself, yeah, I think everybody has. I try not to make a habit of it - in fact I made a rule once never to Google myself, which made me happy.

I thought Google was the coolest place. People there were so smart and they were all doing these really interesting things. I just felt really lucky to be a part of it even in a small way.

Google actually relies on our users to help with our marketing. We have a very high percentage of our users who often tell others about our search engine.

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.
