Tuesday, August 16, 2005As millions of users around the world click on their country's version of famed American Internet giant Google right at this very moment , they are doing this for a reason, good reason in fact. Google is simply a truly one of a kind and family friendly company which our world doesn't seem to be overflowing with especially in Canada and the U.S. What other company out there takes into account their employees fun, health and pyschee as much as Google. This is where Google glows. What's your office without an indoor/outdoor cafeteria with free food & munchies, tennis & volleyball courts, a daycare for kids to have fun spending the day in and much more? Laundry can even be done with a white board reminding employees "don't steal undies". Check out the cool video and see what the behind the scenes at this Internet giant is like
Ages ago I came across a test lab site where employees put their personal projects for the public of the world to use, see and comment on. Google has laid a law down that mandates that all employees must spend a minimum of 20% of their time working on their own thing. How cool is that? These creations can be found in Google Labs Within this lab I located a piece of technological finery called Google Earth There are paid and free versions on offer though the free ones are more than fine, you can try the paid one on a 7 day trial free of charge. Feel free to jet to Japan, peek at Paris (even the cars on the Champs D'Elysses or those milling around the Eiffel Tower), check out your friend's houses, neighbourhoods, seek out your school or see the very building your computer is in. Once you open the program you will find a virtual globe that will automatically zoom into your home continent. From here you can use the cursor bar at the bottom to zoom in on anywhere across the world. Punch in a specific address including your own and zoom in on your house or a place of interest anywhere on earth, literally. Have fun! Teague Neal blogged on 8:08 PM
