Happy Birthday Google, my friend!!!When Larry Page and Sergey Brin established Google Inc. on September 7, 1998, they had little more than their creativity, four computers and an investor's $100,000 bet on their belief that an Internet search engine could change the humankind.
In the most recent example of its persistent expansion, Google has just released a Web Browser to make its search engine and other online services even easy to get to and attractive. Not every peripheral step has gone smoothly, though; several of the company's additional products have flopped or never lived up to the publicity.
But the lengthy to-do list also includes: making digital copies of the entire world's books; establishing electronic file cabinets for people's fitness account; leading the substitute power charge away from fossil fuels; selling computer programs to businesses over the Internet; and tweaking its search engine so it can better understand requests stated in basic words, like a human would.
Google as an daunting kingdom. It holds commanding leads in both the Internet search and advertising markets. The company processes nearly two-thirds of the world's online search requests.
The supremacy has enabled Google to rake in $48 billion from Internet Ads since 2001. Google hasn't hoarded all of that capital: the company has paid $15 billion in commissions to the Web sites that run its ads during the same period, serving to support major online destinations like AOL, Ask.com and MySpace as well as an array of bloggers.
