The Google Story
by David A. Vise Mark Malseed"Here is the story behind one of the most remarkable Internet successes of our time. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, the book takes you inside the creation and growth of a company whose name is a favorite brand and a standard verb recognized around the world. Its stock is worth more than General Motors' and Ford's combined, its staff eats for free in a dining room that used to be run by the Grateful Dead's former chef, and its employees traverse the firm's colorful Silicon Valley campus on scooters and inline skates. The Google Story is the definitive account of the populist media company powered by the world's most advanced technology that in a few short years has revolutionized access to information about everything for everybody everywhere. In 1998, Moscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words, change the world through a search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free. While the company has done exactly that in more than one hundred languages, Google's quest continues as it seeks to add millions of library books, television broadcasts, and more to its searchable database. Readers will learn about the amazing business acumen and computer wizardry that started the company on its astonishing course; the secret network of computers delivering lightning-fast search results; the unorthodox approach that has enabled it to challenge Microsoft's dominance and shake up Wall Street. Even as it rides high, Google wrestles with difficult choices that will enable it to continue expanding while sustaining the guiding vision of its founders' mantra: DO NO EVIL."

Google's PageRank and Beyond: The Science of Search Engine Rankings
by Amy N. Langville Carl D. MeyerWhy doesn't your home page appear on the first page of search results, even when you query your own name? How do other web pages always appear at the top?

The Googlization of Everything: And Why We Should Worry
by Siva VaidhyanathanIn the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission--"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible"--and its much-quoted motto, "Don't be evil." In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Google--and the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the "evil" it pledged to avoid.

Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life
by Nathan SchneiderA free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. When was the last time you participated in an election for an online group chat or sat on a jury for a dispute about a controversial post? Platforms nudge users to tolerate nearly all-powerful admins, moderators, and "benevolent dictators for life." In Governable Spaces, Nathan Schneider argues that the internet has been plagued by a phenomenon he calls "implicit feudalism": a bias, both cultural and technical, for building communities as fiefdoms. The consequences of this arrangement matter far beyond online spaces themselves, as feudal defaults train us to give up on our communities' democratic potential, inclining us to be more tolerant of autocratic tech CEOs and authoritarian tendencies among politicians. But online spaces could be sites of a creative, radical, and democratic renaissance. Using media archaeology, political theory, and participant observation, Schneider shows how the internet can learn from governance legacies of the past to become a more democratic medium, responsive and inventive unlike anything that has come before.

Governance der individuellen Datenverarbeitung
by Elizaveta KozlovaDie professionellen Anwendungen für die wichtigsten betriebswirtschaftlichen Aufgaben unterliegen während der Entwicklung und im Verlauf der Nutzung vielfältigen Kontrollen. Ein häufig unterschätztes Risiko existiert dagegen im Bereich der Erstellung und Nutzung von komplexen aufgabenspezifischen Anwendungen, die mithilfe von Endbenutzerwerkzeugen durch Anwender direkt am Arbeitsplatz entwickelt werden. Elizaveta Kozlova analysiert Chancen und Risiken der IDV-Anwendungen am Beispiel des Bankensektors und entwickelt ein Meta-Gestaltungskonzept fu r das IDV-Management in Kreditinstituten. Darüber hinaus ero rtert die Autorin die Konsequenzen fu r die Durchfu hrung der gesetzlich geforderten Wirtschaftspru fungen.
