- According to one Yahoo posting, Google had 25 million web pages indexed total in 1998, today, it indexes millions daily. (Can we step back and think of the irony here? Yahoo... Google...)
- According to this USA Today article, Google's claimed a number of different birthdays over the past. Sounds like my idea of a birthdays... just give me the whole month!
It all makes sense now! When I was on Google yesterday, I noticed a birthday cake on the top left corner of the page. I was wondering what that was but I forgot to click on it. I never would have guessed that Google has been around for 12 years! That seems like such a long time! Well Google, you're not legal yet but at least you could go for Justin Bieber.
ReplyDeleteSomeone once told me Google was going to take over the planet...not that I believe everything I hear, but that statement may not be far from the truth.
ReplyDeleteSo, I believe it is appropriate to celebrate Google as it enter's its teen years...because it might rule our lives someday.
I found some really interesting facts about the massive search engine...like it's name orient, the number of staffers that control it, the fact that Google Groups comprises more than 845 million usenet messages (WOW), and so on. Y'all should check these out!
