Composition about Google
A few years ago, people used to use Encyclopedias or dictionaries when they need to look up some information; but nowadays it is more comfortable, faster and easier open an internet browser to find this information. When you open one of the most popular internet browsers, like Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, it will usually appear Google at home page.
Google’s name comes from Googol whose term was coined in 1938. It is said that Google was a misspelling of the word Googol made by founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page. They chose this name because it represents the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros. This one was compared with a large number of information which exists on Internet; this is the reason why they chose it.
Google Company has a lot of applications: Gmail (electronic mail), Google Earth (virtual Earth maps), Youtube (video-sharing website), Calendar (free time-management web application), Blogger (blog-publishing service) …
In my view, Google applications are useful. I like it very much, as you can see, I am using blogger to post my English exercises.
Why Blogger?
Blogger allows me to post iframe embedded code which I could not post in other blogs. I was disappointed with WordPress which was my first option.
Some Google advantages are: intuitive, useful, varied applications, free, accessible to all…
The biggest drawback of using Google is that not always is reliable because you have to contrast the information.
