I thought I can write the about the book I am reading now - Google story by David Vise. It is very fascinating to read the lives of these 2 guys Larry and Sergey. Though I am only half into this book, the message is very clear - the rise of very ordinary persons to stardom!. The book in various stages in the initial phase keeps referring to the genius of these guys more than you would have liked. At times, you feel exasperated for the tom-tom attitude of LarryandSergey - the way they like to be called. Why can' t they, afterall they have given new dimensions to they way people in online world start searching for information today. As I write they have launched Google Sky now.

Unlike other biggies who were in big times when these guys start Google in their academic campus, these guys sincerely went on perfecting the product/offering while the others were chasing the numbers. Contrary to the belief, Venture Capitalists also look out for the novelty in the business idea rather than simply asking the "revenue model".

In fact when these 2 guys approached VCs for funding in the initial stages they did not have any revenue model or business philosophy at all. Their main objective was to improve the performance of the product. This makes them interesting and it is unconventional in the world dominated by Microsoft ways of doing business. It is going to be interesting as to how they fare against Microsoft ( am i right in comparing them with Microsoft all the times) on their product offerings and it is not easy anyway.
