1. Guess what Google tweeted
when it got onto Twitter?
This Tweet, sent in February 2009, reads “I’m
01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000
01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010.”
For all those still
scratching their head, it’s a binary code that reads: “I’m feeling lucky.”
2. Google
Has a Company Dinosaur
Everyone knows that Google is
the T-Rex of search engines, so it’s no small wonder to find a Dinosaur replica
right outside the main building. The message to competitors couldn’t be much
clearer. Come any closer and we’re going to gobble you up

Moma Knows Everything
If you think that Google
knows everything, then you’re probably right. But guess who knows all the
internal gup-shup that takes place within Google. It’s called Moma and the
intranet is hugely popular with all the Google employees.

Googlers and Nooglers
Most
of you might know that the Google HQ is known as the Googleplex and that
Google’s employees are normally referred to as “Googlers”. But what you probably don’t
know is that all new joiners in Google are called as “Nooglers”.
So
what’s the criterion that separates a Googler from a Noogler? As a rule of
thumb, “When you’ve been
around longer than 1% of the staff, you cease being a Noogler.”
Oh and
by the way, an ex Google employee is called a “Xoogler”. And you my friend are an
“Oogler”. Go look that one up!
