    Google is a multinational, publicly-traded organization built around the company's


    hugely popular search engine. Google's other enterprises include Internet
    analytics, cloud computing, advertising technologies, and Web app, browser and
    operating system development.
    Google's roots go back to 1995 when two graduate students, Sergey Brin and Larry
    Page, met at Stanford University. In 1996, Brin and Page collaborated on a research
    project that was to eventually become the Google search engine. BackRub, as it was
    called then (because of its analysis of back links), stirred up interest in the university
    research community, but didn't garner any offers from the major portal vendors. Those
    were early days in terms of mass searching of the Internet; one of the CEOs who turned
    them away said that users don't really care about search abilities. Undaunted, the
    founders scrounged up enough funding to get started, and in September of 1998 began
    operations from a garage-based office in Menlo Park, California. In December of that
    same year, PC Magazine listed Google as one of its Top 100 Web Sites and Search
    Engines for 1998.

    Google was chosen for its resemblance to the word googol -- a number consisting of a
    numeral one followed by a hundred zeroes -- as a reference to the vast amount of
    information in the world. Google's self-stated mission: "to organize the world's
    information and make it universally accessible and useful."

    In the first few years of operation, Google's search engine competition included
    AltaVista, Yahoo, Excite and Lycos. Within a few years, however, Google became so
    dominant that the name has become a verb meaning to conduct a Web search; people
    are as likely to say they "Googled" some information as to say they searched for it.

    Google's headquarters are in Mountainview, California.
