Happy 10th Birthday Google

malware · Sep 7, 2008

On September 7th we celebrate the birthday of Google. Ten years ago in 1998 Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google Inc. a designation that has now become a synonym for the world's most famous Internet search engine. Initially having only two employees, now Google has nearly 20,000 workers and a $150 billion market value. At the moment Google is still on top of all internet search pages, and without a doubt can be considered an Internet icon, everybody knows about Google even our grandparents. If there's something you can't find, just Google it! Once again, Happy 10th Birthday Google. There're a few sites below that have covered the occasion:

NYTimes | Wired | BBC | ZDNet

Exactly why I posted the Umbrella Corporation. I think that is what they are becoming. If anyone is a Resident Evil fan, they will know what I am talking about.

Happy birthday my future overlords.

I wish i knew about google ten years ago - just think how stinking rich you could be right now if you bought a couple hundred quids worth of shares back then

WarEagleAU · Sep 7, 2008

Feliz Cumpleanos Google.

I Wish I would have bought stock back then, lord knows I probably had a chance to with 401k or anything else.

What an awesome company. Imagine when Google finally turns 100, how the !@#$% would the web look like then? Here's to many more years, Google! :rockout:

Kursah · Sep 7, 2008

Google

Good job on making it 10 years, :toast:

to the best search engine I've ever used. I can find about anything I want in any topic, has been an excellent tool for PC OC/Pricing/Tuning stuff, none better!

Wshlist · Sep 7, 2008

I often fail to find stuff in google that I KNOW 100% certain is out there, and sometimes find via other routes, I'd certainly not go and say google is the end-all of searching.

Also I hate the new suggestion thing in google, taking over my browser's history-of-typing too.
I just hope that they don't add more stuff to ruin it, the plain page concept is good.

10 already and you know how they get when they reach puberty

At this pace, expect a UAC out of Google.

Funny, they deck up the homepage with a custom logo on pretty much every occasion. Nothing special for today?

yeah i was wandering about that... they usually do something but nothing on thier own birthday??? whats up with that?

yea know its funny i did i stock market project in high school and bought stock in google at the begging of the semester and by the end of the year...if i would have sold it i would have made like 5k easily. sorry thats kind of off topic.

Happy Birthday Google!
