September 15, 1997. That was the day Larry Page and Sergey Brin officially registered the domain google.com, and the internet was never the same.
Because true inspiration – and innovation – can really transform the World, today we bring a selection of data-visualizations that show how Google stepped up to be the giant that we all know today. I also recommend a visit at Wikipedia’s article for a more “text†version of this incredible path.
The History
Google’s history is one of those amazing tales of “American Dream meets geniuses on the right momentâ€. A little bit of that history:
The Birth of Inbound Marketing: From Google to HubSpot
The innovation
Despite the fact that the main revenues always came from advertising, it was the PageRank technology that still garantees Brin and Page a place among the new generation technology revolutionaries.

The Dominance
Speaking about Google is an exercise of grandiosity by itself. The numbers behind the corporation are amazing – and they just don’t seem to stop growing.

The Buying Spree
Since the year 2000, Google has made investments and acquisitions on a constant basis:

Much more than a Search engine
As we saw previously, Google has been on a rampage of acquisitions. But few were so important as YouTube. Behold some facts and figures behind the online video world leader

Information and Trends
The set of tools that compose the Google Universe is indeed fantastic. An the ones related to internet itself are some of the best – like Trends and Insights:
Google Trends for Infographics
Google Insights for Infographics
Rediscovering our World – and beyond
With Google Earth, the company made another giant leap into greatness, providing a revolutionary tool for rediscovering our planet. Geography was never so fun! Soon, hundreds of interactive visualizations were produced, opening a new era of data-visualization:
Possible impacts of a global temperature rise of 4 degrees Celsius
Map Guide to WiFi in airports world-wide
Expanding
The number of Google products is amazingly huge, showing the ability of constant innovation. Some visualizations about those “minor†services:
Mobile
One of the recent technological market fields that Google seems to be doing well is Mobile, with Android being a surprising success.
Android’s Massive Growth In Perspective
Apple, Google, Microsoft & mobile
Failures and Concerns
Of course that not everything is nice and easy for Google. Here are some of the “troubled waters†the company has to sail trough…
Google vs. World: 79 Places Google is Being Sued or Blocked
Google and China, a difficult search
Social Media and other Flops
Like Microsoft did with Google, underestimating the opportunities behind the search business, some say that Google made the same mistake by ignoring the true importance of Social Media. Even Orkut, popular in India and Brazil, was never a priority. And this king of mistakes usually comes with a high cost…

Google Flops & Failures – The Failed Google Graveyard
Privacy
Information. That’s Google main asset, and it gets bigger by the second. It didn’t take long for the concerns with privacy issues become part of their daily “bad news†routine, like when Google Buzz was launched…
Good or Evil: have we shared too much information?
Do You Know Who’s Watching You?
Twitter Perceptions of Google Buzz Over Time
Cloud Computing: Public vs. Private
Environment
Size means energy. And energy equals environmental impact. What’s Google impact and what are they doing about it?
The Energy used in Google Search
How Google is More Green Than You
Against the other big players
Naturally, as Google grown, other “traditional†players had to pay more and more attention to the new giant. And companies like Apple and Microsoft engaged in a interesting dispute, joined recently by Facebook as well.
Google vs. Apple vs. Microsoft
The Future
What can we expect from Google? I believe nobody can really answer that without using a bit of wild imagination…
Videos
We could not end this post without some cool videos. The Google Universe has been a constant subject in infographic videos, some of it even made by Google itself. A few of my personal favorites:
Even with this amount of data visualizations, I still got that feeling that we could go on and on, forever. That’s the supreme beauty of Google – nobody knows when it ends…
As usual, feel free to leave other sugestions – maybe next year we’ll include it, on the 14th anniversary.
