FROM THE GARAGE TO THE GOOGLEPLEX

The google story begins in 1995 at Standard University. Larry Page was considering Stanford for grad school and Sergey Brin, a Student there, was assigned to show him around.

By some accounts, they disagreed about nearly everything during that first meeting, but by the following year they struct a partnership. Working from their dorm rooms, they built a search engine that used links to determine the importance of individual pages on the World Wide Web. The called this search engine Backrub.

Soon after, Backrub was renamed to Google(phew). The name was a play on the mathematical expression for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros and aptly reflected Larry and Sergey mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful."

Over the next few years, Google caught the attention of not only the academic community, but Silicon Valley investors as well. In August 1998, Sun co-founder Andy Betchtoolsheim wrote Larry and Sergey a check of $100,000, and Google Inc. Was official born. With this investment, the newly incorporated team made the upgrade from the dorms to their first office: a garage in suburban Menlo Park, California, owned by Susan Wojcicki ( employee # and now CEO of YouTube). Clunky desktop computers, a ping table, and bright blue carpet set the scene for those early days and late nights. ( The tradition of keeping things colorful continues to this day)

Even in the beginning, things were unconventional: from Google's initial server (made of Lego) to the first "Doodle" in 1998: a stick figure in the logo announcing to site visitors that the entire staff was playing hooky at the Burning Man Festival. "Don't be evil' captured the spirit of our intentionally unconventional methods. In the years that followed, the company expanded rapidly-hiring engineers, building a sales team, and introducing the first company dog, Yoshka. Google outgrew the garage and eventually moved to its current headquarters ( a.k.a " The Googleplex") in Mountain View, California. The spirit of doing things directly made the move. So did Yoshka.

The relentless search for better answers continues to be at the core of everything we do. Today, Google makes hundreds of products used by billions of people to across the globe, from YouTube and Android to Gmail and, of course, Google Search. Although we have ditched the Lego servers and added just a few more company dogs, our passion for building technology for everyone has stayed with us - from the dorm room, to the garage, and to his very day.

In 1999, GOOGLE redesign the logo.

In 2000, GOOGLE AdWords was created with 350 customers. It is quick and and easy way for any business advertise online.

In 2005, GOOGLE Maps was created. Its name is iGoogle. It contains personalized homepage.
