Google speaks : secrets of the world's greatest… by Janet Lowe

I learned a lot more about Google than I thought I would ever know! :) However this book did inspire me to try out some new things using Google. I am pretty sure I NEED to work at the Googleplex (Preferably the Dublin, Ireland location! *Ahem* Google I can send you my CV!!!).

Otherwise I tabbed a lot of the pages to come back to later and bookmarked webpages that I can use later on (like www.bananaslug.com). But there were a few things that made the book kind of blah. For instance there are pages that almost seem verbatim of previous pages or chapters (almost like they weren't sure how to fill out a particular section so they copy/pasted) so that was a bit annoying, but that was really the only bad thing I have to say about.

It is definitely worth a read if you are in the information business. :)… (more)

Bill Gates Speaks: Insight from the World's… by Janet Lowe

I found this a disappointing biography. I would say this was more a collection of facts and quotes about the life of Bill Gates. I would also assume that Bill Gates had very little to do with it. I find a book of this style disturbing. A person's quotes can often be taken out of context. I would recommend another book if you are really interested in either the history of Microsoft, or Bill Gates' life.

Google Speaks: Secrets of the Worlds Greatest… by Janet Lowe

I believe the history of Google itself is probably fascinating. Janet Lowe's write up of the company did not, however, produce a level of intense interest or excitement about all things Google. It did, however, give a high-level background on the history of the company and it's founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, and a sense of the massiveness of the Google mission (which seems to be to rule the world, to be honest).
