COMPANY
Internet search engine, founded 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page at Stanford University. The company went public with a 2004 IPO, using a unique "Dutch auction" technique which alarmed many investment bankers. Google's motto is Do no evil, but expect that philosophy to change now that they're public. Owns Blogger, DoubleClick, Feedburner, Performics, Picasa, and Youtube.
