Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, set up Google in a garage in September 1998. They had been developing a search engine for over a year, originally named BackRub. By December 1998, PC Magazine reported that Google “has an uncanny knack for returning extremely relevant results” (Retrieved from http://www.google.com/about/company/history/#top August 30, 2012).
No longer just a search engine, Google now offers Blogger, which is an easy-to-use blogging website, again free to customers. Google + is becoming more popular, which is a social media site similar to FaceBook or Twitter. Google Maps is also available, which allows users to search for addresses, directions, and even allows them to see pictures of their destination.
Larry Page became the CEO of Google in 2011. (Retrieved from http://www.google.com/about/company/history/#top August 30, 2012).
