- The name ‘Google’ is derived from the mathematical term ‘googol’ which is basically 1 with 100 zeros following it.
- Co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin originally named Google ‘Backrub’.
- There’s a rotated version of Google known as ‘Google Mirror’, which shows everything in a mirrored avatar
- Google wanted to sell itself to online company Excite in 1999 for $1 million, but the Excite CEO rejected the offer
The birthday is celebrated with a doodle which shows a desktop computer that shows a Google search screen. The doodle has a timestamp also dated September 27, 1998. In 1998, Brin and Page published a paper about launching a “large-scale search engine prototype.” “We chose our system name, Google, because it is a common spelling of googol, or 10100, and fits well with our goal of building large-scale search engines.”
