The Google Story

Using standard edition of Gmail at our company office, we found it very comfortable to use internal chat the most. It was quite useful for all the members in staff for faster communication & quick responsive attitude. With added features like: Display image, Custom message & Status indication [ E.g. Busy, Available, Idle], it became quite easy to identify someone’s mood & nature at work place without looking at him/her. Some people added cartoon characters as display image, some added real ones, some added flowers, natural elements etc. Then as custom message people started writing different slogans, quotes along with the status.



Everyday it became habit for everyone to change quotes. Great quotes like : “The more you say, the less people remember”, “Develop the winning edge; small differences in your performance can lead to large differences in your results”, “Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it” , “It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure”, “Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing” - were fond in different users’ IDs, which were quite sublime.



Such activities really help to enrich the work environment & keep it healthier, wealthier.



Keep rocking….
