Are We Getting Fooled by Google?


The Google Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have had an selfless desire to make information available for free.....while they make billions of dollars on advertising.Google's philosophy of 'launch fast and launch often' has given them an immense customer reach and mind blowing dominance of the online advertising market. But, atlast Google bowed to Chinese censorship laws - especially the sort which is less obvious to external observers. China's system of filtering websites which enable blocking web addresses and keywords of foreign websites is being known as the "Great Firewall"; which is a very small part of Chinese Internet Censorship.

The full information about the "Great Firewall" is available on

And now, there are a lot of stories which are heard, some of it overhyped, about Google's ability to hoover up our personal secrets. We all agree that "Knowledge is Power", but is it really healthy for Google Inc. to provide quite so much of information at our fingertips? What do you think?

This Title looks like name of a movie...But its not,Its about the great global financial crisis where we saw the financial services giants had to shutdown their doors the same is mounting over the financial service giant"CITIGROUP". The company has plans to chuck out 52000 sorry life's in phases over next 6 months.The Indian born President Vikram Pandit of Citibank reveals that by slashing 52000 jobs the company will save almost 20% of expenses. The present head count of company is somewhere around 3,52000.The company officials expect that by reducing the head count less than 3,00000 the expense saved would be around 50 million dollars.

I wish all the citibank employees "Try to relax and enjoy the crisis".
