Insights from Googlers into our products, technology, and the Google culture
It's a wonderful Digital Life
October 26, 2004
If you've been following Google closely, you'll know that we don't do a lot of marketing type activities. We prefer to let our products speak for themselves. That's worked pretty well so far, but as we've introduced an increasing array of services, from
Orkut
to
Gmail
, there have a been a lot of Google voices competing for your attention. So, to get a feel for exactly what people are hearing from us, we recently took part in our first live event,
DigitalLife
, in New York's Javits Convention Center. Our ears are still ringing.
Many of those who stopped by our Lego™-flavored booth were pretty confident they knew all there was to know about Google. And they often did know a lot. But when we showed them how to find
digital cameras in a given price range using Froogle
, or how to
sort all their photos instantly with Picasa
, or how to use Google to convert
the speed of light into furlongs per month
, they walked away shaking their heads as if they might
asplode
. "I didn't know you could do that," was the mantra du jour.
If you'd like to up your own Google experience points, check out our
helpful help pages
and our
advanced search tips
or download our easily concealed
cheat sheet
. It's not that all you know about Google is wrong; it's just that, most likely, all you know isn't all there is to know.
