| The Google homepage of November 11, 1998 from the Wayback Machine; 25 million pages |
The Search Engine was ready by the Fall of that year and both Larry Page and Sergey Brin the
founders of the Search Engine had no clue about what it it should look like to the users .
Having no idea about HTML or the markup language , both developed a simple yet "Appealing"
logo for the Search Engine which had indexed about 25 million webpages .
Having developed the simple logo , the website was made live by them on November the 11th
in 1998 . This simple yet appealing logo was the eye catcher to the front end users of the first ,
one of its kind search engine .
Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new
search engine "BackRub", because the system
checked backlinks to estimate the importance
of a site.Eventually, they changed the name to
Google, originating from a misspelling of the
word "googol", the number one followed by one
hundred zeros, which was picked to signify
that the search engine was intended to provide
large quantities of information
. Originally, Google ran under Stanford University's website, with
the domainsgoogle.stanford.edu and z.stanford.edu.
The domain name for Google was registered on
September 15, 1997, and the company was
incorporated on September 4, 1998. It was
based in a friend's (Susan Wojcicki) garage
in Menlo Park, California. Craig
Silverstein, a fellow PhD student at Stanford, was hired as the
first employee .
This was then the just begining of the change in the search engine history of the Internet ! !
