Google-The Internet Experience

Can we ever imagine a world without the internet? And thinking a little more internally, can we imagine our lives without Google? Starting with Gmail to Youtube, Orkut and Blogger, Google gives us everything. Whether you want to know the location of your doctor's chamber or which is the best restaurant in your city to dine in; whether the car you're buying is cool and efficient enough or you want to know the top rated movies of the month .You get it all on Google. Well the list is endless.

All the credit goes to the founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin who began a research project in 1996. Later this project yielded to Google.

Both Larry Page and Sergey Brin were PhD students at Stanford University in California. They introduced a new system that analyzed the relationships between websites .They called this technology PageRank, where a website's applicability was determined by the number of pages, and the significance of those pages, that linked back to the original site.

   

Page and Brin cognominated their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site.

Eventually they  switched on to the name Google  ,originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros ,which conveyed that the search engine wants to provide large quantities of information for people.

Now Google is not just “search”. It is social search. The “+1” button and the panda algorithm is sure to bring about drastic changes in the search paradigm.
