Show Notes
Welcome to the third part of my podcast mini-series on the early days of the internet. In the first part, I looked at the creation of the World Wide Web and how Netscape made it accessible. Part 2 was all about how AOL brought the internet into every home in the country.
In part 3, we look at how the internet was taken to the next level: web search. And more specifically: Google. This is a look back on the astounding history of the now trillion-dollar company. We'll look at how two college students beat the giant web companies at their own game, and how they almost sold it for next to nothing: but everyone passed.
We then look at how Google could be twice as big but dropped the ball on social networking--despite beating Facebook to the punch.
