him. But little is known about how
founded, who is behind this form.
for me and until Google recently was always there. It was only a matter d google.cl
and write access to almost everything you could ask for.
But it was not always so. In 1995, Sergey Brin, 23, and Larry Page, 24, met at Stanford University to apply for a PhD in computer science.
That same year, start working together on a project for a
IVERSITY called "Digital Library Project." Larry had some knowledge in web design area, and Sergey in data processing, and began to create what later became Google.
In 1996, this work and begins to take for ma,
and BP Page
given
NAME re; 'BackRub'.
This search was based on data hosted on a Sun Ultra II computer with a 28 GB hard drive, less than currently have my PC.
Incredibly, in the beginning, the page offered a telephone number with which u could not contact Larry in case any question arises. This was not very rare, because their only users were university students and some teachers.
In 1997, the name change, from 'BackRub' to the famous and ultra-popular 'Google'.
'Google' comes from the resemblance to 'googol', a name given to the '10 figure increased to 100 '. By then, the page already has a search range of 24 million websites, many that they started giving problems to the capacity of hard disk containing the data.
already registered the domain 'google.com', various businesses are interested in buying
rights, but fortunately the young artists refuse, to control
them the role of leading the growing company.
is when computers Google are taken to a room with Larry and Sergey's room becomes the finance office. Now with the need to buy larger hard drives, all the money is taken out of their pockets and even their families, money that aciendo to the sum of $ 15,000. Finally
access to a terabyte of disk space (1024 gigabytes) to store all the information necessary for the development of the site.
After a long run, entrepreneurs are interested in helping financially with Google, investing $ 200,000 in the name of "Google Inc." in two checks for the purchase of computers, checks could not charge to have open 'Google Inc.' as such.
to open its first store, taken as a location the garage of a friend of Larry, and so were finally able to cash the checks that they had been donated.
1998 is the year they hire their first employee, who now holds the position of Chief Technology Officer of Google. LINES install telephone, cable and a DSL modem.
in 1999 and had 8 people hired, and google.com was receiving around 500,000 hits per day. Signed their first contract and start to take Linux as an operating system on the main computer of the company.
Today, Google is a of the most successful websites around the Internet, and suffice to say that is an example of effort and perseverance.
Now, with the mere thought of a search engine, these two "O" so much fun come instantly to our heads, due to its dissemination and use.
The one day kept the PC in his pieces are now billionaires and started 7 years ago as his little project today is my start page.
For those interested, can see the beginnings of Google in the original form of the Stanford University created by Larry and Sergey. Do not expect luxury or design: http://google.stanford.edu
