How Google Works

Filed under: Recommended — Bill Day @ 8:12 am

Baseline Magazine provides an interesting glimpse into what makes Google tick in “How Google Works“.

The teasers on some of the technical stuff (BigFiles, Google File System, and BigTable) are good, but so are some of the “fly your own airplane” stuff. Example: Google uses software smarts to crunch on emailed weekly contributor updates rather than requiring more heavy handy methods that, frankly, many employees in many enterprises simply ignore.

Worth a read.
