Quotes
From smartphones to self-driving cars to browsers, email, social networking, and augmented-reality glasses, Google doesn't just mess around in a huge number of divergent technology arenas, it credibly competes in most of them, has essentially invented some of them from the ground up, and in some key segments, is the dominant player. - [|2012 in Review - PC Mag]

Google Page Rank
Google Technology - [|http://www.google.com/technology] "The heart of our software is PageRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by our founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University ... PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important." Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query."

Google has made its services available to organizations using Google Apps. In addition to the core suite of messaging and collaboration applications, you may access many Google services ("Additional Services") using your editor@planeta.com account. Your planeta.com administrator determines which Additional Services you may access using your account. For tips about using your new account, visit the GoogleHelp Center.

Please be aware that when you use Google services, your domain administrator will have access to your editor@planeta.com account information, including your email. You can learn more here, or by consulting your domain administrator's privacy policy, if one exists. You can choose to maintain a separate account for your personal use of any Google services, including email. If you have multiple Google accounts, the username that appears at the upper right corner of most Google services will help you ensure that you're using the intended account.

The Additional Services are provided by Google to you under these terms of service and privacy policy. Certain Additional Services may also haveservice-specific terms. If your domain administrator enables any of the Additional Services, Google will treat your use of any of the Additional Services as acceptance of the applicable service-specific terms.

Signing In ** An important point about multiple sign-in ** As not all Google products support multiple sign-in, check the top right of the page when you sign in or switch products to make sure you're using the correct account. If you're on a mobile device, check the bottom of the page.
