    Google began in January 1996, as a research project by Larry Page, who was soon joined by Sergey Brin, when they were both Ph.D. students at Stanford University in California. They hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better ranking of results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page. Their search engine was originally nicknamed "BackRub" because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site

    What's a Google?

    "Googol" is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was
    coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was
    popularized in the book, "Mathematics and the Imagination" by Kasner and James
    Newman. Google's play on the term reflects the company's mission to organize the
    immense amount of information available on the web.
