Video: How Google Really Works

Posted at 8:24am EST on 05/08/2008

Have you ever wondered the technical details behind how Google works? This is a great video which explains everything.

But really, could you ever imagine waiting 2 minutes for search results? I some how doubt Google would be high on the list of search engines if it really took that long ;)

    After all the post-it-note running they go back to the searching users and it shows something like “500ms later”.

    I guess that means Google has the power to slow down time. Wish they would release that for general consumption, I could use an extra 12 hours a day.

    You should stick around me more often. I have 36 hour days, they are really useful.

    that’s how I cram everything into everyday :)
