Warmest Greetings,

:: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 ::

Recommended to me by a business owner who was impressed by Google after reading it, I too, now recommend you peek at this article. It's loaded with inspiration, and an inside look at the company we love to be jealous of. How Google Grows...and Grows...and Grows

Quote:
"For Wall Street, it may be the IPO that changes everything ( again ) ... But Google is also a case study in savvy management -- a company filled with cutting-edge ideas, rigorous accountability, and relentless attention to detail ... Here's a search for the growth secrets of one of the world's most exciting young companies -- a company from which every company can learn."

Quote:
"One reason Google puts its innovations on public display is to identify failures quickly."

Quote:
"For the first 18 months of its existence, Google didn't make a penny from its basic Web-search service."

Quote:
"One big factor is the company's willingness to fail. Google engineers are free to experiment with new features and new services and free to do so in public. The company frequently posts early versions of new features on the site and waits for its users to react. "We can't predict exactly what will happen," says senior engineer Nelson Minar."

Everything you ever wanted to know about PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising but didn't who or what to ask...You'll find EVERYTHING in Peter DaVanzo's ongoing series of interviews with "three very experienced pay-per-click operatives" - Ammon Johns of WebMarketingPlus, Andrew Goodman from Page Zero Media and Jim Banks from Web Diversity .

Today's Fanmail: "I thought cre8pc meant CRATE PC, as in stick that Windows computer in a box and bury it. That's why I joined the group." Dang it. He's more clever than I am! (For what Cre8pc really means, read About the Weird Name)
