INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT GOOGLE

1. The name GOOGLE was an
accident. A spelling mistake
made
by the original founders who thought they were going for
GOOGOL. Googol is a
mathematical
term 1 followed by one
hundred
zeroes.

2. Google started in January,
1996
as a research project at
Stanford
University by Ph.D students
Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

3. 97% of Google revenue
comes
from their advertising
services.

4. The biggest break in search came when Google introduced
their improved spell checker
seen
as 'Did you mean?'. This
feature
doubled their traffic.

5. The infamous 'I’m feeling
lucky'
button is nearly never used.
However, in trials it was found
that removing it would
somehow reduce the Google experience.
Users wanted it kept. It was a
comfort button
