Who is Google?
==============
Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Bin who met at Stanford
University. They developed a search engine called BackRub in 1996. By 1998
they had renamed the beta product Google.com, formed a company called
Google Inc, managed to get funding for their venture and receive 10,000
search queries each day on their search engine. In 2000 they developed a
keyword-targeted advertising program into their search engine which
introduced a revenue stream into the now fully released search engine.
Google started to develop other features into the brand to increase
revenue such as Ad-Words and the Google Tool bar. GMail was announced to
the world on 1st April 2004.
