CNBC Original, Maria Bartiromo takes viewers Inside The Mind of Google for a rare look at the world’s most powerful technology company and its crown jewel, the Google Internet search engine. This is the fascinating story of how two grad students, in barely a decade, took a one-time research project and turned it into a global technology powerhouse…changing the way we interact with information, the Internet, and each other. See how Google came to dominate the search industry and turn it into a profit machine… and see where it’s taking its next step… and how the company plans to address arguably the biggest controversy in today’s digital age: privacy.

I really like how Google Living Stories is leveraging the ‘life’ of a news story by using the technology and visualizations that work best on the web and give us context.

It’s not just putting print online.

• One link for each story that doesn’t change, but aggregates sources
• Visual timeline gives you context, navigation
