Google Fun Facts

A few fun facts about Google (Originated here):

The great search engine is named Google, being a play on the word googol which refers to the 1 followed by one hundred zeroes.  It reflects the company’s mission to organize the unlimited amount of information on the internet.

Many people know this already – Google was started as a research project at Stanford University.  It was created by PhD students Larry Page & Sergey Brin at 24 & 23 years old respectively.

Google’s indexed webpages is the most in the world.  It often only take Google <1/2 a second to commence a search in its collection of information.

Search requests are all over the world including Antarctica.

Apart from English, users can search in 35 different languages.

** Specially for Star Trekk fans – Google Klingon! **

“Googlers” refers to the nearly 3,000 staff in Google (is that all?) and “Googleplex” refers to the Google headquarter.

For the handheld devices fans, Google translates HTML webpages into WAP / i-mode phone formats.  “Predictive text input” is also available!

Google Groups have got more than 845 million Usenet messages – the world’s largest collection of messages.  That’s equivalent of more than a terabyte of human conversation.

“PageRank”, although associated with the ranking of a webpage, is actually named after Larry Page, not the function.

Who works in Google?  Former neurosurgeon, rocket scientist, chef for George Clinton……

The above are from Google Press Room.  Surely there are more of it:

The “I’m feeling lucky” button was nearly never used.  But it was a comfort button.

The homepage got pretty much nothing on it because the original founder just want a simple interface and he didn’t know HTML.

The “©2008 Google” was added just to show the users that the page has finished loading.  In the early stage of user tests, people were sitting in front of the screen and waited for a long time.  They were asked why they have to wait and they said they thought it is still loading l0l
