The Google Story

Having been using “Google”, the most powerful and widely used search engine for quite a long time now, wanted to read about the history of Google, how it emerged and who were the masterminds behind the scene. I went to the Library and luckily caught site of “The Google Story” and picked it up with no further delay. Its really amazing to read the stories of 2 young boys Sergey Brin and Larry Page who became billionaires at the age of 31.And can you imagine, where do we stand at the age of 31? R we going to accomplish something remarkable like this? Or just lead the common man’s life with a “who cares” mindset..
Now,coming back,Google which was earlier called “BackRub” actually means “A very large number”.It was derived from the word “googol” which means the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros.Google gets paid for every search that happens, and this is how they make money.
