Google specializes in internet-related services and products. These include online advertising technologies, search, cloud computing, and software. Beyond its core search engine, Google offers online productivity software including email (Gmail), a cloud storage service (Google Drive), an office suite (Google Docs) and a social networking service (Google+). Desktop products include applications for web browsing, organizing and editing photos, and instant messaging. The company leads the development of the Android mobile operating system and the browser-only Chrome OS for its netbook offering, Chromebook. Its mission statement from the outset was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”
