A short story on Google
Aug 15th, 2008 by admin
Everyone knows about the world of “Google” and every internet user uses Google also. Google is known to be the largest search engine in the internet. But do you know how Google was established? If you do not know, then you would really enjoy knowing about Google. Well, first of all it was a project by two students of Stanford University, California. Larry Page and Sergey Brin are the two persons who founded Google. Larry Page started the project in January 1996 and after that Sergey Brin joined the project and they were doing Ph.D at Stanford University.
The name of the project was “BackRub” because the search engine checks the backlinks of the websites in order to list the websites in the search engine. For example, if you are searching a particular keyword, then there will be many related websites. But the website with higher backlinks will be placed in the higher position of the search result than the website with less number of backlinks. They did the project in the sub domain “Google.standford.edu” and now it has been transferred to the domain “Google.com”.
Still Google is considered as the official search engine of Stanford University. There is a close connection between Google and Stanford University. Imagine! How fast the world of internet is changing. Google is not a story of 30-40 years ago but it is a story which is just a decade behind and now Google is the largest web-based company providing many interesting free services. Also Google is making a good earning through advertising and marketing.
