Google (2006-2012)

Between 2006 and 2012, Google evolved from a search engine into a dominant technology company by expanding its services, including advertising (AdWords), email (Gmail), maps (Google Maps), and video content (YouTube, which Google acquired in 2006). It focused on improving search algorithms, making information more accessible and relevant. During this period, Google also developed the Android operating system and introduced cloud computing services. The company's innovative culture, data-driven approach, and user-focused products significantly shaped the internet and technology landscape, establishing Google as a key player in digital innovation.
