climb aboard.. the e-Train

Recently, I’ve got an opportunity to attend a presentation by someone who is working hard on SEO/SEM. What the heck is SEO/SEM?? It is Search Engine Optimization/ Marketing. Many of you know there are 2 young entrepreneurs running their business well on this search engine field, yea, you’re right, it is Google. All IT guy or even non-IT guy know Bill Gates, but just wonder how many really know the 2 Google founders’ name? Frankly, I don’t really know their exact name until I attended the presentation. I only know they are ranking high in the Top-richest man in the world in the recent few years.
The presentation sparked me somehow. I’m start thinking, how does the Google bring such good money to Lawrence (Larry) Page and Sergey Brin? Finally I can remember their name well like Bill Gates after some research on Google’s anatomy. Now, Google is so famous until the word "google" becomes equivalent to the word “search”. It’s very interesting, how the Google can handle such a gigantic amount of search engine index of the thousands of million of the web sites. How is the algorithm behind works to rank the ranking of the search result? Before this I thought website can be ranked highest when you get the highest hits. But, after reading the documents, then I know it is not true. In fact, there are few things need to be take into consideration, for example, the famous PageRank, to judge your website citation importance and quality. Then, you won’t be surprised why these two young guys can be so rich in a short period. Every second they are earning from the internet.
Compare to Microsoft product, which is far too complicated. Just take the recent released Windows Vista for example. People said Windows Vista is the largest concerted software project in human history. Vista is said to have over 50 million lines of code. And there are 2,000 software developers working on it. It takes way too long time for Microsoft team to come out with a new product. That’s the reason why the launching of Vista has been delayed and delayed. Microsoft started to develop this next version of Microsoft Windows somewhere mid of 2001, prior the release of Windows XP.
Some people foresee, in 5-10 years, Larry and Sergey can take over Bill’s top wealthy ranking in the world. I think I should spend more time on “googling” all this useful info from the internet. Knowledge of technology revolution is affording every willing participant in the world. The environment of the future will come alive with technology. We should expose ourselves and open up our eyes to the world, and must get tech-ready. We have to catch the train, the e-train. Climb aboard together, dude!!!
