The World Obsessed With Google

Google Obsessed













People around the world have become obsessed with Google (NSDQ: GOOG). Whenever "Google" is mentioned in subway cars in London or a busy street in Tokyo people become excited almost curious. Information week reports that whenever they post images of Google, like the photos of Google's new digs in Ann Arbor, Mich., readers are drawn to it like bees to honey. The above photo was taken at an Italian soccer match where fans were carrying the banner of the Goggle homepage for the search term "Juventus" and the corresponding search result.

Google has become a utility that and most people cannot live without. People are curious to know about the company, how to get a job at Google and how the company became an overnight success. Everybody seems to have heard about the gourmet meals, and other perks like masseuse and laundry services. Many, CEOs and VP of fortune 500 companies attend the WebGuild Events at Google seeking jobs, some to witness the culture so that they can implement the "Googlely Feel" (as Marissa Mayer famously puts it) at their own companies to attract employees as well as keep their employees from leaving for Google.

Here is the Alexa country ranking for Google.

Yes, I am a successful CEO and I will now drop everything and get on my knees to beg Google to take me!

I'll do it just for the pool and free food! Google is so cool I do not even care about money! Whooooo-hooooo!

Your Google propaganda is just plain ridiculous.

This is not our opinion it is the current reality. I know of 2 CEO who have gotten jobs at Google and I know several who have recruited great employees for their companies at the WebGuild Events.

Hi Daya, I have started 4 companies and raised VC money for 2 of them. One almost went public before the bubble burst in 2000. I have got tremendous experience as a CEO, Founder and Visionary, can you introduce me to your contacts at Google as I believe I can positively impact one of their many product lines. I will be at your next event and I would like to get acquainted.

Thanks,
Seasoned CEO & Visionary
