Google’s Mission
“Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible
and useful.”
4Wednesday, July 9, 2008
Google Philosophy
Focus on the user and all else will follow.
It’s best to do one thing really, really well.
Fast is better than slow.
Democracy on the web works.
You don’t need to be at your desk to need an answer.
5Wednesday, July 9, 2008
Google Philosophy
You can make money without doing evil.
There’s always more information out there.
The need for information crosses all borders.
You can be serious without a suit.
Great isn’t just good enough.
