The first “Google doodle” in 1998 was intended to let visitors to the homepage know that Google’s
minders were offline at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. There’s now a team of “doodlers” and
they’ve posted more than 1,000 different doodles on homepages worldwide.[Doodles are the fun,
surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate
holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists.]
Gmail was launched on April Fool’s day in 2004.
There is a Google Ventures that is the venture capital investment arm of Google Inc. that makes
strategic investments in technology companies, it has 150+ companies under its belt.

(Toilet Internet Service Provider).
In 2004, Google formed the not-for-profit philanthropic google.org, with a start-up fund of
$1 billion. The mission of the organization is to create awareness about climate change, global

13. Something to take along
• "Google looks for "Googliness" — a mashup of passion
and drive that’s hard to define but easy to spot. Of the
over 26,000 employees worldwide, a surprising
percentage have it.“
• "As they’ve grown to over 26,000 employees in more
than 70 offices, they’ve worked hard to maintain the
unique spirit that characterized Google way back when
it started.“
• "A device is just a proxy for what really matters —
getting to know your customers. Devices provide
context, helping us learn what matters to a consumer
in a particular location and at a particular time.“
