Introduction
Google, the leading search
engine worldwide, was founded in 1998 by Stanford University graduate students
Larry Page and Sergei Brin.While at Stanford in 1996, Page and Brin began
developing a search engine they eventually entitled BackRub. This search engine
was designed to look at the connecting links between web pages in order to
determine a site's authority. In 1998, Page and Brin set up their first data
center in Page's dorm Google, Inc. was established on September 7, 1998 in
a friend's garage in Menlo Park, California. Page and Brin hired their first
employee, Craig Silverstein, who was later to become Google's Director of
Technology.
In their humble beginnings,
Google served over 10,000 queries a day and quickly gained a reputation as a
trustworthy source of information. By 1999, it was serving 500,000 queries a
day and the company moved from the unassuming four walls of a garage to the now
mega Googleplex headquarters in Mountain View, California
