Google isn't lucrative, that's why the .org comes It automaticly redirects you to your google zone (PT, CA, CO.UK, etc..) same as google.com.

Google.org? - Do you know anything about this?

psyfish
I was on my computer today and I was kinda board so I just decided to see what happend if I typed in google.org instead of google.ca. To my surprise, intsead of redirecting me to google.ca, it took me to a new website http://www.google.com/googleorg/. I'm not exactly sure what it is, it seems to be a new part of google that they are making. There isn't a whole lot of information on the page. This is what it says on the page
QUOTE
This will be the future site of Google.org – the philanthropic arm of Google. We are currently working on staffing as well as defining the goals, priorities, and principles of Google.org. We hope to have a lot more to share with you on this front in the coming year. Check back here for updates.


Does anyone know anything about this? you can check it out here:
google.org

Interesting. It looks authentic to me, no doubt about it. It's a folder from google.com But what on earth will google.org do? This is pretty mysterious. They probably thought no one will notice the page... Staffing inquiries? To become a staff of Google!? WOW!
I wonder how much they'll pay and if they accept international applications.

Thats quite interesting.. philanthropic activities from google.. finally someone thought of helping others instead of just making money.. Though it is just a thought right now.. I appreciate it...

Lets see how they approach this and convert thought to action...

Cheers.

such as gmail (when its finished beta) , obiusly the searches
and mabye other services google are going to make,
and that .org will be a homesite if you know what i mean

Maybe Google want to have a social, non lucrative side. This will help them to keep a good image to all of us. I think they are quite afraid of becoming a hated figure like Microsoft.

This is a very interesting find, psyfish. I am very interested in seeing where Google takes this. It's amazing how many features Google has that people are not aware of (most, or all, betas, such as Video, Gmail, Maps, etc). I think that this idea of google.org would be that of a good one.

Anyone want to know what I think? Well your gonna know.

I think that they just got the URL and the other stuff ready, then noticed that they don't have anything do with it. I got some hosting and everything here, then noticed I didn't need hosting for anything. smile.gif I dunno really. I guess the only thing google can now do is job searchings. They have maps and school searching. They have internet content searching, all they need is a job search thingy. smile.gif

Huh, seems like Google wants to make another page on something mysterious that they dont want us to know about tongue.gif

of course. may be, they'll have a non-profit organization, which will donate money and such, organize events for a better world or activities which raises their image, so they won't be hated (like mizako said)

Did you notice that if you type http://google.org, you will be taken to a different page other than where you go if you type http://www.google.org?

The site that we are mentioning here in this thread is the second one. The first link just takes you to a typical Google english search page.

    Hi, I tried to install Google Chrome web browser on my Windows XP computer and faced the following
    error each time: "Access to this application is restricted." Well! I do not exactly know where
    this comes from but I guess that it is one of Google's racist issues. As I tried from my home
    country Iran, some Google services like Google Code are not available due to bans that the company
    has put on particular advanced services. Because the installer first comes from the sub-domain

    Well it seems Google is going ahead with service even though the huge security risks that are

    even if they got military grade security on their servers, there is far to much risk having your
    medical records floating around on the internet. However, its not like they have been circulating on
    the net for years through computer databases and what not, and that really surprises me that

    the Google-owned Gmail or Orkut sites for their communication. According to security officials,
    since Google servers are based in US and their IP addresses are masked, it takes a long time to get
    the real IP addresses and log details of culprits. Moreover, Google demands a judicial order to
