What is up with Google

What is up with Google.

If you are reading this, I can assume that you know Google. Well why is that so. What is so special with it. There is something to it..

Everyone likes Google for their own reasons and I do have mine. One of the notable things is that if you sign into one, you are signed into many. I am not sure whether I have used a Open-id for logging into these many sites. I am synchronizing my Chrome Canary in PC using Google account so that I can have my browser customization on all my devices. I can even continue to start where I left on the other device. For example, I was writing a blog in Chrome canary in my windows PC in my office. I left in the middle and continued in Chrome beta in my laptop which runs Fedora Beefy-miracle in my home or I can pick it up at my bedroom with my smart phone. Life is so simplified. No wonder, Chrome is one of my favorite Google offerings.

Once I sign into Google for applying my search preferences and tracking my search history, I am automatically signed into many other things. I can just go to YouTube to upload my new video or to watch my favourite channels. When Google announced acquistion of YouTube in November 2006, many wondered what can Google benefit from this acquistion. Eventhough YouTube was famous then, many couldn't see what monetory benefits YouTube could offer. Now there are plenty folks who make handsome money using YouTube. Google shares a good part of revenue with the publishers.
