| A man signing in at Google’s main afice, Googleplex. | ||
| Google Inc. is an American multinational corporation | ||
| that is best known for running one of the largest search | ||
| engines on the World Wide Web (WWW). Every day, | ||
| 200 million (200,000,000) people use it. Google’s main | ||
| office (“Googleplex”) is in Mountain View, California, | ||
| USA. | ||
| With Google Search, people can also search for pictures, | ||
| Usenet newsgroups, news, and things to buy online. By | ||
| June 2004, Google had 4.28 billion web pages on its | ||
| database, 880 million (880,000,000) pictures and 845 | ||
| million (845,000,000) Usenet messages — six billion | ||
| things. | ||
| “To google,” as an action word (verb) means “to search | ||
| for something on Google”. Because Google is so popular | ||
| (more than half of people on the web use it) it has been | ||
| used to mean “to search the web”. Google dislikes this | ||
| use since the name of the company is a trademark. | ||
| As a public company, Google Inc. trades on the | ||
| NASDAQ under the tickers GOOG and GOOGL. | ||
| In August 2015, Google announced it was being restruc- | ||
| tured under a new holding company called Alphabet Inc. | ||
| 1 History | ||
| Google was started in early 1996 by Larry Page and | ||
| Sergey Brin, two students at Stanford University, USA. | ||
| It used to be called Backrub. Later, they made it into a | ||
| company, Google Inc., on September 7, 1998 at a friend’s | ||
| garage in Menlo Park, California. In February 1999, the | ||
| company moved to 165 University Ave., Palo Alto, Cal- | ||
| ifornia. Later that year, it moved to another place, now | ||
| called the “Googleplex”. | ||
| In September 2001, Google’s rating system (“PageR- | ||
| ank”, for saying which information is more helpful) got a | ||
| US. Patent. The patent was to Stanford University, with | ||
| Lawrence (Larry) Page as the inventor (the person who | ||
| first had the idea). | ||
| Google makes an important, though shrinking, percent- | ||
| age of its money through its friends like America Online | ||
| and InterActiveCorp. It has a special group known as the | ||
| Partner Solutions Organization (PSO) which helps make | ||
| contracts, helps making accounts better, and gives engi- | ||
| neering help. | ||
| 2 How Google makes money | ||
| Google makes money by advertising. People or compa- | ||
| nies who want people to buy their product, service, or | ||
| ideas give Google money, and Google shows an adver- | ||
| tisement to people Google thinks will click on the adver- | ||
| tisement. Google only gets money when people click on | ||
| the link, so it tries to know as much about people as pos- | ||
| sible to only show the advertisement to the “right people”. | ||
| It does this with Google Analytics, which sends data back | ||
| to Google whenever someone visits a web site. From this | ||
| and other data, Google makes a profile about the person, | ||
| which it then uses to figure out which advertisements to | ||
| show. | ||
| 3 The name “Google” | ||
| The name “Google” is a misspelling of the word | ||
| g00g01.[7][8] Milton Sirotta, nephew of US. mathemati- | ||
| cian Edward Kasner, made this word in 1938, for the | ||
| number 1 followed by one hundred zeroes ( 10100 ). It | ||
| is said that the word “googol” was chosen as a name for | ||
| this number because it sounded like baby talk. Google | ||
| uses this word because the company wants to make lots | ||
| of stuff on the Web easy to find and use. Andy Bechtol- | ||
| sheim first thought of the name. | ||
| The name for Google’s main office, the “Googleplex,” is a | ||
| play on a different, even bigger number, the "googolpleX", | ||
| which is 1 followed by one googol of zeroes. | ||
