When was Google Born?

Google was born on September 4, 1998, when Larry Page and Sergey Brin incorporated their company, Google Inc., in Susan Wojcicki’s garage in Menlo Park, California.

However, the origins of Google can be traced back to 1995, when Page and Brin met as PhD students at Stanford University. They were both interested in developing a better way to search the World Wide Web, which was still in its early stages at the time.

In 1996, Page and Brin developed a search engine called BackRub, which ranked websites based on their link popularity. In other words, the more websites that linked to a particular website, the higher it would rank in BackRub’s search results.

BackRub was a success, and in 1997, Page and Brin renamed it Google after the mathematical term “googol,” which is the number 1 followed by 100 zeros.

Google was officially launched in 1998, and it quickly became the most popular search engine in the world. Today, Google is one of the most valuable companies in the world, and it offers a wide range of products and services, including search, email, cloud computing, and mobile operating systems.

Google’s mission is to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” The company has had a profound impact on the way we live and work, and it continues to innovate and grow.
