22 years since Google was founded


September 27, 1998 Sergey Brin and Larry Page establish the leading technology giant Google, and an American public company that profits from the business of advertising associated with Internet search services and e-mailing.

The name Google was chosen, which reflects the company's mission, which is organizing the vast amount of information available on the web, and Google describes its mission as follows, "Google's mission is to organize information around the world and make it useful and accessible to everyone."

In January of 1996, Google's beginning was in the form of a research project initiated by "Larry Page" and soon Sergey Ben participated in it, when they were two students preparing their doctoral thesis at Stanford University in California.

Assume that a search engine that analyzes the relationships between websites would provide a better ranking of search results than that of any already established methods that arrange results according to how often the searched term appears on the page.

The search engine they created was called "BackRub" because its system was examining the back links on the site in order to assess the degree of importance of the site and there was a small search engine named "Rankdex" already trying to find a similar strategy.

Google received its first funding in August 1998, which was a contribution of $ 100,000 by Andy Bechtolsheim to a company that had yet to be established, one of the founders of The Sun Corporation.

Google has provided many software tools and services for commercial and public domains, including web applications, advertising networks, and software solutions available to companies.

Google's search engine on the web is one of the most popular services provided by Google. In August 2007, this engine ranked first as the most used search engine, occupying 53.6% of the market, surpassing that of Yahoo, and Yahoo occupies 19.9% ​​of The market, Live Search occupies 12.9% of the market.

The Google apps service or Google apps is one of the most important services used by individuals, companies and educational institutions, and the service links the domain for each group of basic Google services such as Gmail & Google docs & Google site, and the service is available with a free plan and a paid plan of $ 50 per year. And a plan for schools and universities.

In order to improve this service, Google announced that it will provide all its remaining services to users of Google apps, and Google uses a great method to motivate its members as all the company's engineers are encouraged to spend 20% of their work time "equivalent to a day in the week" on projects that interest each of them. Some recent Google services like Gmail & Google News & Orkut & AdSense as fruits of these independent attempts.

Marissa Mayer, vice president of Google's search services and user experiences, said in an interview with Stanford University that her analysis showed that half of the new services it provided recently resulted from the time allocated to creativity.
