Why is Google so Important?
Google is the number one search engine on the planet; everyone who uses the Internet, and even the rare ones who don’t, have heard the phrase ‘just Google it’ in their quest for up-to-date information about anything and everything.
In addition to being a search engine, Google has many other interests such as the famously popular YouTube in which anyone can be a video star, expressing their feelings through various songs, spoken word or the occasional paint by music video. Other Google offerings include Google Earth/Maps; Google Picasa for those who like to upload and publish their photos; Google Checkout for when shopping online and you find something you’d like to purchase, Google can help you purchase it; Google News and Gmail to name a few. Just recently, Google opened Google Buzz, its answer to the Twitter and Face Book crazy of updating your friends and chosen followers to your every move.
Google is not only important for everyday people looking up homemade recipes, homework help or the intermittent celebrity news articles; Google is important to the 150,000,000 active web sites on the Internet today (according to NetCraft, an Internet research firm). In order to find the precise information a searcher wants, someone needs to shift through all these websites to find the helpful information. This is were Google’s algorithms comes into play. These complex algorithms are a mathematical set of instructions that ‘tell’ the computer how to complete a task, in this case, search for whatever it is an individual choose as their keyword, whether it was ‘ice skates,’ ‘Dalmatians’ or ‘highest money making film of all time.’
