History of Google

The Google company was officially launched in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin to market Google Search, which has become the most used web-based search engine. ... The search engine soon proved successful and the expanding company moved several times, finally settling at Mountain View in 2003.

Almost everyone in the world using Google services. Does anyone in general knows the history and details of this company? I'll make a small presentation and “advertising” 
History


1995-1996 – Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin met at Stanford University in 1995. By 1996, they had built a search engine (initially called BackRub) that used links to determine the importance of individual webpages.

1998 – Larry and Sergey named the search engine they built “Google,” a play on the word “googol,” the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google Inc. was born in 1998, when Sun co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check for $100,000 to that entity—which until then didn’t exist. The first “Google doodle” in 1998 was intended to let visitors to the homepage know that Google’s minders were offline at the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. There’s now a team of “doodlers” and Google posted more than 2,000 different doodles on homepages worldwide.

2000 – In 2000, Google introduced AdWords, a self-service program for creating online ad campaigns. Today Google advertising solutions, which include display, mobile and video ads as well as the simple text ads Google introduced more than a decade ago, help thousands of businesses grow and be successful.

2004 – On April Fools’ Day in 2004, Google launched Gmail. Google’s approach to email included features like speedy search, huge amounts of storage and threaded messages. Google Initial Public Offering of 19,605,052 shares of Class A common stock took place on Wall Street on August 18, 2004.

2004-2005 – Google acquired digital mapping company Keyhole in 2004, and launched Google Maps and Google Earth in 2005. Today Maps also features live traffic, transit directions and street-level imagery, and Earth lets you explore the ocean and the moon.

2006 – In 2006, Google acquired online video sharing site YouTube. Today 60 hours of video are uploaded to the site every minute. Cat videos, citizen journalism, political candidacy and double rainbows have never been the same.

2007 – Amidst rumors of a “Gphone,” Google announced Android—an open platform for mobile devices—and the Open Handset Alliance, in 2007.

2008 – Word got out about Google Chrome a day ahead of schedule when a comic book introducing Google’s new open source browser was shipped earlier than planned. Google officially launched on September 2, 2008.

2011 – Larry Page, Google’s original CEO until 2001, took up the title again in April 2011. Eric Schmidt, now Google’s executive chairman, served in the role for 10 years. In June 2011, Google introduced the Google+ project, aimed at bringing the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to the web, and making all of Google better by including people, their relationships and their interests.

Google company has packed a lot into a relatively young life. Since Google was founded in 1998, Google grown to serve millions of people around the world.

Google’s co-founder Larry Page was the first CEO of the site. He became the CEO of Google twice.
