Hello world! Today, i'd like to talk about the creators of the famous search engine Google. The two masterminds behind Google are two men whom i'll talk about briefly soon. Let's talk about Google first and then how it was created. With the help of the creators friend's and family's credit cards they took a big risk into this big project. Google began in January 1996 as a research project for the two creators when they were both P.h.D students in the University of Stanford in California. The search engines before Google's time ranked the pages by how many times it has been clicked, so the two theorized about a better system that analyzes the relation between websites. This new technology the two created was called PageRank. What PageRank did was that it took the information of websites and ranked it based on how important it was, the number of pages it had and how many times it linked back to the original site. With the influence of a popular search engine named RankDex, they decided to name the new search engine BackRub because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of the site. With time, BackRub was named Google because from a misspelled word googol. Googol is a number with one hundred zeros following the number one, meaning they wanted to provide people with the most information possible. Some also say that Google knows the meaning of life.
