Google history

Google began in January 1996. as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine “BackRub”. Than , they changed the name to Google.

The name “Google” is a misspelling of the word googol. Edward Kasner, made this word in 1938, for the number 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. Google uses this word because the company wants to make lots of stuff on the Web easy to find and use.
In January 2013, Google company said,that they had earned US$50 billion in 2012. This marked the first time the company had reached this feat.

//In May 2011, the number of monthly unique visitors to Google was more than one billion for the first time, an 8.4 percent increase from May 2010 (931 milion).//

Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Together they own about 14 percent of its shares. They incorporated Google as a privately held company on September 4, 1998. Its mission statement from the start was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful,”. In 2004, Google moved to its new place in Mountain View, California, nicknamed the Googleplex.

Fast growth since incorporation has triggered a chain of products and partnerships. (beyond Google’s core search engine.) It offers online productivity software including email (Gmail), a cloud storage service (Google Drive), an office suite (Google Docs) and a social networking service (Google+).
