Today, less than 10 years since its beginnings, Google employs roughly 5000 people, and in 2004 had sales revenue of 3.19 billion dollars. Its founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, are tied at number 55 as the wealthiest people in the world each with a net worth of over 7 billion dollars.
Google continues to forge ahead with unique and exciting tools and services such as GMail, Blogger, Google Maps, Google Mobile, and Froogle just to name a few.
As you can see, Google is much more than a search engine, but its search features are what we will examine in next months article. Until then, happy Googling!
