"To organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and
useful."
Google History & Trivia:
At the beginning, desks were made of wooden doors and sawhorses. Some are
still used by the engineering group.
The first round of venture capital, $25 million, was provided by Sequoia Capital
and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Sequoia also funded YouTube with $8
million before it was purchased by Google.
The first non-engineering Google employee was Omid Kordestani, who started
in sales in May, 1999. Omid still works for Google today as the Senior V.P. of
Global Sales & Business Development
17. Who Invented and Started Google? When Was Google Founded? Who's
Behind Google?:
Google was started by founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
Sergey and Larry met at Stanford University where they invented a search
engine for the school's computer system
When Did Google Become a Company?:
Google filed official incorporation papers in California, September
4, 1998. Before the official corporation, Larry and Sergy had met at
Stanford, collaborated on a search engine for the college’s servers
called “BackRub,” decided to develop the search engine further,
renamed their creation “Google,” got their first $100,000 investment
check, and set up an office in a garage in Menlo Park.
18. History
Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and
Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in
California.
While conventional search engines ranked results by counting how many
times the search terms appeared on the page, the two theorized about a better
system that analyzed the relationships between websites.[
They called this new technology PageRank, where a website's relevance was
determined by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that
linked back to the original site.
19. Larry Page
Lawrence "Larry" Page[ born March 26, 1973) is an American computer scientist and
internet entrepreneur who, with Sergey Brin, is best known as the co-founder of
Google. As of April 4, 2011, he is also the Chief Executive Officer of Google, as
announced on January 20, 2011.[ As of 2011, his personal wealth is estimated to be
$19.8 billion
Larry Page
20. Page grew up in the East Lansing, Michigan, area, where his father, Carl
Victor Page, was a professor of computer science at Michigan State University.
The senior Page was also an early pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence,
and reportedly gave his young son his first computer when Larry was just six
years old. Several years later Page entered the University of Michigan, where
he earned an undergraduate degree in engineering with a concentration in
computer engineering.
21. Early life and education
•Page was born in East Lansing, Michigan[5][6] His father, Carl Page,
earned a Ph.D.
•in computer science in 1965 when the field was in its infancy, and is
considered a "pioneer in computer science and artificial intelligence.“
• Both he and Page's mother were computer science professors at
Michigan State University.[7][8]
•Page is Jewish on his mother's side, and was raised without religion.[9]
•Page attended the Okemos Montessori School
(now called Montessori Radmoor) in Okemos,
Michiganfrom 1975 to 1979, and graduated from East
Lansing High School in 1991.
22. •He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering from
the University of Michigan with honors and a Masters degree in
computer science from Stanford University.
•While at the University of Michigan,
•"Page created an inkjet printer made of Lego
bricks" (actually a line plotter),[11] served as the president of the Eta
Kappa Nu in Fall 1994,[12] and was a member of the 1993 "Maize &
Blue" University of Michigan Solar team
23. Interview of larry page,
Page recalled his childhood, noting that his house "was usually a mess, with
computers and Popular Science magazines all over the place.“
His attraction to computers started when he was six years old when he got to
"play with the stuff lying around.
" He became the "first kid in his elementary school to turn in an assignment
from a word processor.
"[ His older brother also taught him to take things apart, and before long he was
taking "everything in his house apart to see how it worked.“
24. BACK RUB PROJECT
•After enrolling for a Ph.D. program in computer science at Stanford University,
Larry Page was in search of a dissertation theme and considered exploring the
mathematical properties of the World Wide Web understanding its link structure as a
huge graph
•His supervisor Terry Winogradencouraged him to pursue this idea, which Page later
recalled as "the best advice I ever got".[
• Page then focused on the problem of finding out which web pages link to a given
page, considering the number and nature of such backlinks to be valuable information
about that page (with the role of citations in academic publishing in mind).
• In his research project, nicknamed "BackRub", he was soon joined by Sergey Brin, a
fellow Stanford Ph.D. student.[
25. FIRST MEETING OF PAGE AND BRIN
oBrin and Page originally met in March 1995, during a spring orientation of new
computer Ph.D. candidates.
oBrin, who had already been in the program for two years, was assigned to show some
students, including Page, around campus, and they later became good friends.
oBACK RUB INTO PAGE RANK
To convert the backlink data gathered by BackRub's web crawler into a measure of
importance for a given web page, Brin and Page developed the PageRank algorithm, and
realized that it could be used to build a search engine far superior to existing ones.[15]
It relied on a new kind of technology that analyzed the relevance of the back links that
connected one Web page to another.[17]
In August 1996, the initial version of Google was made available, still on the Stanford
University Web site
26. Business
In 1998, Brin and Page founded Google, Inc.[18] Page ran Google as co-
president along with Brin until 2001 when they hired Eric Schmidt as
Chairman and CEO of Google. In January 2011 Google announced that
Page would replace Schmidt as CEO in April the same year.[19] Both
Page and Brin earn an annual compensation of one dollar. On April 4,
2011, Page officially became the chief executive officer of Google,
while Schmidt stepped down to become executive chairman.
27. Personal life
Page married Lucinda Southworth at Richard Branson s Caribbean island, Necker Island in
2007.[20] Southworth is a research scientist and sister of actress and model Carrie Southworth He
has one child
Other interests
Page is an active investor in alternative energy companies, such as Tesla Motors which
developed the Tesla Roadster a 244-mile (393 km) range battery electric vehicle He
continues to be committed to renewable energy technology, and with the help of
Google.org Google's philanthropic arm, promotes the adoption of plug-in hybrid
electric cars and other alternative energy investments.[13]
Brin and Page are the executive producers of the 2007 film Broken Arrows
28. Awards and recognition
Pc magazine has praised Google as among the Top 100 Web Sites and Search Engines
(1998) and awarded Google the Technical Excellence Award, for Innovation in Web
Application Development in 1999. In 2000, Google earned a Webby Award, a People's
Voice Award for technical achievement, and in 2001, was awarded Outstanding Search
Service, Best Image Search Engine, Best Design, Most Webmaster Friendly Search
Engine, and Best Search Feature at the Search Engine Watch
In 2002, Page, along with Sergey Brin, was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100,
as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[26]
In 2003, both Brin and Page received an honorary MBA from IE Business School "for
embodying the entrepreneurial spirit and lending momentum to the creation of new
businesses...."[27] And in 2004, they received the Marconi Foundation Prize, the "Highest
Award in Engineering," and were elected Fellows of the Marconi Foundation at Columbia
University.
29. In announcing their selection, John Jay Iselin, the Foundation's president, congratulated
the two men for their invention that has fundamentally changed the way information is
retrieved today." They joined a "select cadre of 32 of the world's most influential
communications technology pioneers...."[28] He was elected to the National Academy of
Engineering in 2004. In 2005, Brin and Page were elected Fellows of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences.[29] In 2002 the World Economic Forum named Page a
Global Leader for Tomorrow and in 2004 the X PRIZE chose Page as a trustee for their
board.[11]
In 2004, Page and Brin were named "Persons of the Week" by ABC World News
Tonight. Page received an honorary doctorate from the University of Michigan in 2009
during graduation commencement ceremonies.[30]
In 2011, he was ranked 24th on the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires and as the
11th richest person in the United States.[1]
30. Sergey Brin
Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin (Russian: Сергей Михайлович Брин; born
August 21, 1973) is a Russian-born American computer scientist and internet
entrepreneur who, with Larry Page, co-founded Google, one of the largest
internet companies.[3][4] As of 2011[update], his personal wealth is estimated to be
$19.8 billion.[1]
31. Sergey Brin. A native of Moscow, Russia, Brin was also the son of a
professor, and came to the United States with his family when he was six.
His father taught math at the University of Maryland, and it was from that
school's College Park campus that Brin earned an undergraduate degree in
computer science and math.
Brin was already enrolled in Stanford's PhD program when Page arrived
in 1995
32. Economist magazine referred to Brin as an "Enlightenment Man", and
someone who believes that "knowledge is always good, and certainly
always better than ignorance", a philosophy that is summed up by Google’s
motto of making all the world’s information "universally accessible and
useful"[5] and "Don't be evil".economist
Early life and education
Sergey Brin was born in Moscow to Jewish parents,[6] the son of Michael
Brin and Eugenia Brin, both graduates of Moscow State University. His
father is a mathematics professor at the University of Maryland, and his
mother is a research scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
33. Russian-born American computer scientist and internet entrepreneur
Brin immigrated to the United States from Russia at the age of six. He earned his
undergraduate degree at the University of Maryland, following in his father's and
grandfather's footsteps by studying mathematics, as well as computer science. After
graduation, he moved to Stanford to acquire a Ph.D in computer science. There he met
Larry Page, with whom he later became friends. They crammed their dormitory room with
inexpensive computers and applied Brin’s data mining system to build a superior search
engine. The program became popular at Stanford and they suspended their PhD studies to
start up Google in a rented garage
34. In 1979, when Brin was six, his family felt compelled to emigrate to the United States
In an interview with Mark Malseed, author of The Google Story,[9] Sergey's father
explains how he was "forced to abandon his dream of becoming an astronomer even
before he reached college". Although an official policy of anti-Semitism didn't exist in
the Soviet Union Brin claims Communist Party heads barred Jews from upper
professional ranks by denying them entry to universities; "Jews were excluded from the
physics departments, in particular..." Michael Brin therefore changed his major to
mathematics where he received nearly straight As. He said, "Nobody would even
consider me for graduate school because I was Jewish."[10] The Brin family lived in a
three-room, 30 square meter (350 square foot) apartment in central Moscow, which they
also shared with Sergey's paternal grandmother.[10] Sergey told Malseed, "I've known for
a long time that my father wasn't able to pursue the career he wanted", but Sergey only
picked up the details years later after they had settled in the United States.
35. Education in the United States
Brin attended grade school at Paint Branch Montessori School in Adelphi,
Maryland, but he received further education at home; his father, a professor in the
department of mathematics at the University of Maryland, nurtured his interest in
mathematics and his family helped him retain his Russian-language skills. In
September 1990, after having attended Eleanor Roosevelt High School in
Greenbelt, Maryland, Brin enrolled in the University of Maryland, College Park to
study computer science and mathematics, where he received his Bachelor of
Science degree in May 1993 with honors.[12]
Brin began his graduate study in Computer Science at Stanford University on a
graduate fellowship from the National Science Foundation. In 1993, he interned at
Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica.[12] He is on leave from his Ph.D.
studies at Stanford.[13]
36. Search engine development
During an orientation for new students at Stanford, he met Larry Page. In a recent
interview for The Economist, Brin jokingly said "We're both kind of obnoxious." They
seemed to disagree on most subjects. But after spending time together, they "became
intellectual soul-mates and close friends". Brin's focus was on developing data mining
systems while Page's was in extending "the concept of inferring the importance of a
research paper from its citations in other papers."[5] Together, the pair authored what is
widely considered their seminal contribution, a paper entitled "The Anatomy of a Large-
Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine."[14]
Combining their ideas, they "crammed their dormitory room with cheap computers" and
tested their new search engine designs on the web. Their project grew quickly enough
"to cause problems for Stanford's computing infrastructure." But they realized they had
succeeded in creating a superior engine for searching the web and suspended their PhD
studies to work more on their system
37. Personal life
In May 2007, Brin married Anne Wojcicki in The Bahamas. Wojcicki is a biotech analyst and a
1996 graduate of Yale University with a B.S. in biology.[2][16] She has an active interest in health
information, and together she and Brin are developing new ways to improve access to it. As part
of their efforts, they have brainstormed with leading researchers about the human genome
project
Awards and recognition
In 2002, Brin, along with Larry Page, was named to the MIT Technology Review TR100, as one
of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.[29]
In 2003, both Brin and Page received an honorary MBA from IE Business School "for
embodying the entrepreneurial spirit and lending momentum to the creation of new
businesses...".[30] And in 2004, they received the Marconi Foundation Prize, the "Highest Award
in Engineering", and were elected Fellows of the Marconi Foundation at Columbia University.
"In announcing their selection, John Jay Iselin, the Foundation's president, congratulated the two
men for their invention that has fundamentally changed the way information is retrieved today."
They joined a "select cadre of 32 of the world's most influential communications technology
pioneers..."[
38. Other interests
Brin is working on other, more personal projects that reach beyond Google. For example, he
and Page are trying to help solve the world’s energy and climate problems at Google’s
philanthropic arm Google.org, which invests in the alternative energy industry to find wider
sources of renewable energy. The company acknowledges that its founders want "to solve
really big problems using technology."[36]
In October 2010, for example, they invested in a major offshore wind power development to
assist the East coast power grid,[37] which may eventually become the first "offshore wind
farm" in the United States.[38] A week earlier they introduced a car that, with "artificial
intelligence," can drive itself using video cameras and radar sensors.[36] In the future, drivers of
cars with similar sensors would have fewer accidents. These safer vehicles could therefore be
built lighter and require less fuel consumption.[39]
They are trying to get companies to create innovative solutions to increasing the world's energy
supply.[40] He is an investor in Tesla Motors, which has developed the Tesla Roadster, a 244-
mile (393 km) range battery electric vehicle
39. Google Inc. is an American multinational public corporation invested in
Internet search, cloud computing, advertising technologies, and search
engines. Google hosts and develops a number of Internet-based services
and products,[3] and generates profit primarily from advertising through its
AdWords program.[4][5]

41. •Meaning of the Name and Why It Is
Called "Google":
The name “Google” was inspired by
the mathematical term, "googol."
This is the name that was given to
the number "1," followed by 100 zeros
by Milton Sirotta when he was 9 years
old. Milton’s uncle was mathematician
Edward Kasner, who helped popularize
the term in his book, “Mathematics and
Imagination.”
Sergey and Larry chose to name their
search engine “Google” as a variation
of this mathematical term because it
related to the enormity of the task of
organizing the immense amount of
information that was available on the
internet.
42. Google’s First Employee:
Craig Silverstein, a fellow Stanford computer science grad student, was
hired to help build what is now the world’s largest search engine.
Craig is currently Google's technology director. He told the San Francisco
Chronicle, “
We need to make search as good as a human answering a search request.
We need to be like the computer on 'Star Trek,' and we are very, very far
from that."
43. Google Philosophy and Quotations:
"We have a mantra: don't be evil, which is to do the best things we know how for our
users, for our customers, for everyone. So I think if we were known for that, it would be
a wonderful thing." - Larry Page
"The ultimate search engine would basically understand everything in the world, and it
would always give you the right thing. And we're a long, long ways from that." - Larry
Page
"As we go forward, I hope we're going to continue to use technology to make really big
differences in how people live and work." - Sergey Brin
"Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being
very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the
world." - Sergey Brin
44. Google Employment and Workplace:
Google's workplace amenities are known by many and duplicated by few. In order to help
employees maintain a healthy work-life balance, Google provides these benefits onsite to its
employees.
Workout room with weights and rowing machine
Locker rooms
Washers and dryers
Massage room
Assorted video games
Foosball
Baby grand piano
Pool table
Ping pong
Roller hockey twice a week in the company parking lot
Snack Rooms with free snacks foods, fruit, and beverages
Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the employee cafe.
45. Growth
In March 1999, the company moved its offices to Palo Alto, California, home to several other
noted Silicon Valley technology startups.[66] The next year, against Page and Brin's initial
opposition toward an advertising-funded search engine,[67] Google began selling
advertisements associated with search keywords.[28] In order to maintain an uncluttered page
design and increase speed, advertisements were solely text-based. Keywords were sold based
on a combination of price bids and click-throughs, with bidding starting at five cents per click
In 2003, after outgrowing two other locations, the company leased its current office complex
from Silicon Graphics at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, California.[72] The
complex has since come to be known as the Googleplex, a play on the word googolplex, the
number one followed by a googol zeroes. Three years later, Google would buy the property
from SGI for $319 million.[73] By that time, the name "Google" had found its way into
everyday language, causing the verb "google" to be added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate
Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary, denoted as "to use the Google search engine to
obtain information on the Internet."[74][75]
46. toughest Competitors of Google in
2010
Being from partners to rivals, Apple is one of the toughest opponents for Google in the year
2010. Today, Apple and Google have been locking their horns in the field of Smartphone,
Mobile App Store, OS, Mobile Ad, and Online Music and so on. Likewise, Apple is more
than up to the task of battling Google in these areas as well as browsers, where Google
Chrome competes against Apple Safari. But battle between will intensify, as the market for
the digital music and SmartPhones is all set for growth in 2010. Google’s music search along
with its partner MySpace and Pandora are looking to compete with Apple’s iTunes, which
was the No 1 music retailer in United States in 2009. Further, Google’s Android will have
tough time as Apple’s iPhones continues to grab hold of the market all round the globe.
47. Microsoft
Microsoft have enhanced Bing, adding image search and mapping. But in response
Google have unveiled real time search. In December, Google also added a photo
search capability, a dictionary and a translator that finds relevant content in 40
languages. Entering 2010, Google still dominates search, with more than 70% of the
market. Apart from search, the battle is likely to focus on cloud based collaboration
tool.
Google Apps is designed to undercut sales of Microsoft products, including Exchange
and SharePoint. Microsoft has responded with Office Web Apps, free Web-based
versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote that are due out in 2010. Last but
not the least; the browser war between these two is giants are likely to heat up in
2010. So 2010 awaits the answer if ever so popular Microsoft’s premier browser’s
market share could be brought down by Google’s Chrome.
48. Amazon
Amazon with its Kindle e-book reader is one of the leaders in e-book reader’s market. The other are
where Google is taking on Amazon is in cloud computing. Google’s Apps Engine, a newbie cloud
computing platform that allows developers to create their own Web applications and run them on
Google’s infrastructure will be competing with Amazon’s Elastic Computing Cloud (EC2) which ha
already grab hold of market with its several upgrade after its release in 2006. So it will be a great
battle to watch when these two giants fight for market supremacy on Cloud computing and E-book
readership. Facebook
Facebook, probably the most popular stuff in the internet right now, has attracted 350 million
active users in just six years and is subject of interest for the guys at Google too. In 2010,
Google and Facebook rivalry is likely to heat up based on question that about the way people
will find their information in future. With ever increasing use of social networking and the
rise of Facebook, Google’s worry seems to be a viable one.
49. Corporate Social Responsibility
Google China Social Innovation Cup for
College Students
Google China Social Innovation Cup for College Students" is a
nationwide competition that aims to empower China’s youth to
become agents of social change. By soliciting project ideas from
college students and funding viable proposals, we hope to instill in
China’s future leaders the values of social responsibility, the
importance of community welfare, and the spirit of self-
empowerment. Among all colleges and universities that participate in
the competition, 100 of them that top in the number of proposal
submission will share 500 Google "Campus Volunteer Stars"
Scholarships every year.
50. Supporting Earthquake Relief Efforts
At 2:28 pm on May 12th, 2008, a 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan province in
Western China, claiming the lives of tens of thousands. Amidst the chaos and despair,
Google’s various departments mobilized immediately to support rescue and relief efforts.
In early September 2008, Google funded construction of 15 Google Quake Relief Hope Schools
in the city of Mianyang in Sichuan province, helping 18,184 elementary and high school students
to return to the classroom. Below is a list of our Quake Relief Hope Schools:
Google has also partnered with MercyCorps, Save the Children, Doctors without Borders and
other organizations to commit rescue and relief support to quake victims for the next 2-3 years,
focusing especially on rebuilding, rehabilitating, and retraining.
51. Google Grants
Google Grants is an in-kind donation program awarding free AdWords advertising
to select charitable organizations. Since its inception, we have supported hundreds
of organizations in advocating and promoting their causes, from animal rights and
literacy to abandoned children and HIV education.

The publication 2600: The Hacker Quarterly has compiled a list of words that are restricted by
Google Instant.[53] These are terms the web giant's new instant search feature will not
search.[54][55] Most terms are often vulgar and derogatory in nature, but some apparently
irrelevant searches including "Myleak" are removed.[55]
Search options
The webpages maintained by the Google Help Center have text describing more than 15
various search options.[28] The Google operators:
OR – Search for either one, such as "price high OR low" searches for "price" with "high" or
"low". "-" – Search while excluding a word, such as "apple -tree" searches where word "tree"
is not used.
"+" – Force inclusion of a word, such as "Name +of +the Game" to require the words "of" &
"the" to appear on a matching page.
"*" – Wildcard operator to match any words between other specific words.
