The Journey of Naming Googol to Google!
It would be no wrong to say that Google co-founders are certainly true fans of wordplay. The current name “Google” was given by its master after the name “Googol”. Googol name was suggested in a brainstorming session by a student at Stanford, Sean Anderson and while checking for the availability in the domain, Larry accidentally typed Google instead of Googol and liked it better. The name given represented number 1 followed by hundred zeroes as it signifies and represents great amount of information that any search engine has to analyse before displaying the results. Initially there was also a suggestion for the name of google as “Backrub” because the behind algorithm used to examine all the back links to examine the credibility and importance of the website. But, it was not liked much by its founders and hence was finally been given the name as “Google” on September 15, 1997.
How it All Started- The Beginning of Google!
The story of Google began in the year of 1995 at Stanford University, where Sergey Brin met with his friend Larry Page.

With thorough understanding, detailing in the matter of World Wide Web, deep analysis and research, the first version of Google was launched by Larry and Page in the year 1996 on the Stanford University website. Google saw an instant popularity and became a huge success within the premises of the Stanford. Charged up and inspired with their initial success, Larry and Brin started to develop and upgrade more to their search engine services, by adding a full text search and indexing more pages.
As Larry and Brin were busy on improving, enhancing, upgrading and developing more of services in the search engine framework, Google was already creating a buzz for its success at both in the Stanford University and also at the secluded area and universe of the academic web research. Over the years, Google became more successful and popular not just with the academic community and university, but also with the Silicon Valley investors who showed a great interest in Google. Officially, Google Inc. was born on August 1998, by issuing a cheque of $100,000 & with this huge investment, the new formed team made the up-gradation from the dorms to the first official office, which was a garage in the Suburban Menlo Park in California.
