Begin with a vision: Google and Facebook...

I am trying to determine what inspires and drives me regarding online business... Perhaps let's begin by looking at two giants to get some ideas.

Yes, many factors come into play in the growth of companies such as Google and Facebook. But they hold the keys to what people want and expect from these popular websites. Be it the services they provide or the values they bring, there must be a hint or two for us to pick up and get started with.

Bloomberg recently runs a documentary series Bloomberg Game Changers. It features the founders of Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and Google: Sergey Brin & Larry Page. Interesting stuff.


Oct. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Mark Zuckerberg, founder and chief executive officer of Facebook Inc. and one of the world's youngest billionaires.


Oct. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Sergey Brin and Larry Page redefined advertising, created a chain of products such as Google Maps, News, Gmail and have taken on rival giants like Apple and Microsoft.
