What is the birthday of Google?

Google's birthday has been changing for many years, but now, the official day they celebrate is September 27. The exact selection of the year Google 'born' depends on how you choose.

In the summer of 1995, Larry Page and Sergey Brin first met

Larry Page considered graduate school at Stanford and Sergey Brin, who was a graduate student in the second year, was assigned to take Larry to study the school.

Then Larry Page decided to enroll. They are not friends from the beginning, in fact initially thought that the other person "was very upset" but eventually they became friends and partners. Two young students started collaborating on the new search engine project.

In January 1996, they began working on the new search engine

Initially this project was Larry Page's doctoral thesis. The idea is to get and rank search results based on 'citations', basically a part of the curriculum. In studies, academics retain excerpts (those citing your work) to count the number of posts you are authoring. Today the system is still available, Google Scholar gives citations with more information.

Larry Page works on a new search engine called BackRub, to convey the idea of ​​counting quotes to the growing World Wide Web world. In fact, the idea of ​​creating a 'search set' arises while they are doing the above project.

Initially he wanted to redraw the World Wide Web but then Page and Brin realized this could be a great search for users. Earlier, the search engine got results based on the number of times a keyword was mentioned and actually created a port, just like Yahoo! filter out good pages and put them into categories.

The new search engine BackRub uses a new approach, finding pages and ranking by relevance. The following search engine was renamed Google and the application algorithm was named PageRank. Sergey Brin liked this idea very much and along with Page developed the search engine. The following project expanded and attracted many people at Stanford.

Page and Brin eventually dropped out of school and started a business with Google. (The word Google derives from 'googol', ie number 1 and followed by 100 zero).

Launched Google

The domain name www.google.com was registered in 1997 but Google officially started its business in September 1998.

So we have Google start dates for 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

It depends on whether you like to blow the candle any day, then celebrate the birthday that day

Initially, Google used the official date of business operation in 1998 to count birthdays. Most of the day, Google officially opened 7/9 as a birthday, but Google also changed often 'depending on when people want to eat cake'. Perhaps because of the same day of the World Trade Center bombing, they moved.

In recent years, Google's birthday is usually September 27, you will see Google Doodle on that day. If you want to see it as soon as possible, try viewing the Google page in the time zone countries sooner.

Another interesting thing is that if you log in to your Google account, you will see a birthday cake on your birthday.
