Google turns 15 on September 4, 2013

Google, a multi billionaire firm set up by founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who had met at university in 1995, incorporated the firm Sep 4, 1998 now 15 years old.
In these 15 years Google has entered into everyone’s life, most of us can’t imagine to use internet without Google.
History of Google
  • Firm was incorporated on Sep 4 1998
  • Founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin
  • Intially alled BackRub, it was eventually named Google.
There are so many search engines available on internet these days but I don’t think no one can ever compete with intelligence of Google search engine. For a typical query on Google, “there are thousands, if not millions, of webpages with helpful information.” And it is its algorithms that have been developed over years – that throws up the most-related and relevant links and answers to questions you ask.
Some features of Google that most of us use these days:
  • Gmail – Gmail was introduced in 2004 and it was first time when people herad about free unlimited storage space. Nowadays most of the people use gmail id as their personal email id
  • Google search engine – Top most search engine across the world
  • Google Chrome – Web browser used by most of internet users
  • Google Maps
  • Youtube – The second most-used search engine in the world
  • Android - Mobile operating platform for smartphones and tablets.
