The Inventor of Google
Who Invented Google?
The Inventor of Google:
The two Inventors Sergey Brin and Larry Page from the Soviet Union have invented the search engine Google in 1998. They met for the first time at Stanford University as graduates of Computer College in 1995. They started writing a programme to make a search engine called ‘’ Bacrob’’. Then, after they succeeded in their mutual project in January 1996, they named the domain name for the engine (Google.Com) on the 15th of September 1997.
Google’s Name Story:
At first, it was called “Googol” which is a term refers to a large number of one (1) followed by a hundred zeroes. This name was chosen to indicate the amount of information that the engine intends to contain and organize. Then because of a spelling error the name became (Google).
Google’s History:
After receiving his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science in 1979 from Maryland University, Brin’s family moved from Moscow to the USA. Brin joined the Graduate Studies Programme at Stanford University. Lary Page’s father was a professor of Computer Science at Michigan State University. And Page got his Computer Engineering Certificate from this university in 1995, then he joined the PhD Programme in Stanford where he met his classmate Sergey Brin. They were interested in enhancing the ability to extract the content from the huge data set on the internet. They started their work in Page’s room to extract a new style of search technology.
In the middle of 1998 Brin and Page received an external funding. They collected nearly one million dollars from the investors, family and friends. Then they launched the search engine as ‘’ Google’’ and in the middle of 1999 Brin became the chairman of the company when Google received 25 million dollars from the capital financing. The search engine was processing 5000 questions daily. In 2001 Erek Schmidt took Page’s place as the CEO of Google. The company was led by three people:Prin, Page and Schmidt.
By 2004 the site was visited around two hundred millions on a day, which means 138 thousand questions per minute.
