Google Trilogy Now Available
June 17, 2009
Infonortics Ltd., a publisher in the United Kingdom, has announced “The Google Trilogy”. Stephen E. Arnold’s three monographs, said Harry Collier, Managing Director, Infonortics in Tetbury, Glos.:
comprise a comprehensive review of the Californian web behemoth. The first volume — The Google Legacy — concentrated on an overview of Google and of its technology. The second volume — Google Version 2.0 — drilled down into Google’s technology as revealed or suggested by its patents. The third and final volume — Google: The Digital Gutenberg — looked in depth at Google’s potential outside of its classic and traditional search origins.
The Google Legacy provides a look at the foundation technologies and their use within Google and at such core Google services as maps, search, and data management.
Google Version 2.0 describes key Google technical innovations developed between 2005 and 2007, a period that Mr. Arnold describes as the thrusters for Google’s current line up of products and services.
Google: The Digital Gutenberg explains how a publisher, developer, or innovator can use Google to build a business that “surfs on Google”. The reference to Google’s Wave is not an accident, because “Wave” is the first of the digital bundling services that Google will deploy.
Portions of these studies have been published by such organizations as BearStearns and IDC, the Boston consultancy. The trilogy comprises about 500 pages of text, technical diagrams, and tabular material. Unique in these monographs is the analysis of Google’s patent documents and technical papers spanning the period from 1998 to 2009.
A person interested in knowing how Google delivers its products and services will find these monographs an essential guide. For a competitor, these monographs provide a long view of Google’s scope and impact. For a person wanting to make money using Google as a platform, these studies provide a forward looking, informed view of what Mr. Arnold calls a “new type of company.”
The cost of the three books in PDF download versions only is US$650 / €490. Site licenses on application to harry.collier [at] Infonortics.com.
