Bet You Didn’t Know This About Google
By admin | April 3, 2007
Most of us use google every day, but here are some facts on the world’s most recognised brand I bet most of you did not know:
- 1.The name ‘Google’ is a spelling error.The founders of the site thought
they were going for ‘Googol’.
2.The reason the Google page is so bare is because the founders didn’t
know HTML and just wanted a quick interface.
3.Google started as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin
when they were 24 and 23 years old respectively.
4.Google receives about 200 million search queries each day from every part of the world,
including Antartica and Vatican.
5.In the earliest stage of Google,there was no the submit button
rather a hit on the ENTER key.
6.You can have the Google home page set up in 88 different languages
-including Urdu,Latin and Klingon.
7.It would take 5,707 years for a person to search Google’s 3 billion pages.
The Google software does it in .5 seconds.
8.The logos that appear on the Google homepage during noteworthy days
are called Google Doodle.
9.You’ve heard of Google Earth,but not many know there is a site called
Google Moon,Which maps the lunar surface.
10.Keyhole,the satellite imaging company that Google acquired in
October 2004,was funded by the CIA.
