This year Google the internet search engine that connects you to virtually any information in the world
Before Google search engine would dominate the market handling over 1 billion searches a day
Running on over 1 billion computer servers and becoming a verb before the company dropped
1.65 billion to acquire YouTube in 2006 generating its own crop of web star some of whom earned more than traditional a listers
Before Google's Monopoly on the search market led to antitrust
Investigations by the us Federal [trade] commission yeah, uh I was worse [than] I expected
I'll be honest so yeah before to
Stanford Phd students turn the research project into a bread [worth] eighty two point five billion dollars with over 50,000 employees
Google makes its long-awaited debut on Wall Street
the Stock Soars a worldwide phenomenon
And that clearly helped it with investors before there was a film titled the internship which was essentially wedding crashers, [too]
But like in a rough economy, you know what I mean, well, the story goes that larry page at mit sergey
Brin while taking a tour of Stanford [university] the two began working on a project that aimed to organize the info on the
World [Wide] [web] that's what they used to call it
They wanted to do so in a way that anyone could access it they started working out of a friend's garage and in eight years
Were able to make their company the largest and most influential brand in technology of this millennium?
My favorite thing about Google is of course YouTube and that's why I'm able to do this for a living [and] Youtube was very different
Before Google bought it. Let's take a look at the very first video
yeah, this is unreal cool thing about these [guys] has been it's a
Really?
really really long
Promise, and that's that's cool. Yeah, I know things have changed a lot. What's going on guys
My name's Michael craig documenting the rise of google here for you on before. [they're] famous now. I've also covered McDonald's
Which is a crazy story behind it make sure [to] check that out and let me know as always in the comments down below what?
Company or person you want to hear about next?
ah
Here they are when I hit this is he able to see so we can see you guys, okay good
You got hi
My name [is] Billy Google was founded on september 4th 1998 by Larry Page [and] Sergey Brin
only three years prior Larry was a 22 year old you Michigan grad look if you go to stanford next he went to take a
Tour of the campus and sergey was the guy who showed morale they hit it off and larry enrolled for class the next semester trying
to decide what to write his dissertation on larry proposed a project bet to organize and
Understand the numbers and complex link systems of the world Wide web his professor told him you should go for it
There are three important services you can access on the internet
surfing the world Wide web
Surfing that sounds pretty cool already soon sergey was on board. It's gonna be began [develop] a search engine called Backrub
They wrote an algorithm that could comb through the internet Pages and Gather all their backlink [data] then
Rank it in importance very important. Yeah, what do search engines?
Do they search the net looking for the information you requested cool
It was launched on [the] stanford server and stayed there for a year until it got too big for their bandwidth
Kind of reminds me of the growth of Facebook although well that was like raiding hot chicks
Yeah
I know let's move on the to believe their
Pagerank code was valuable and began shopping it around [two] different search engines at the time the company
Excite showed some [interest] and offered to buy the algorithm for 1.6 million dollars now
That's a whole lot of money for grad students and living off fritos and [Mountain] dew
But eventually they decided not to go through with the deal. I imagine the world would have been a very different place if they did
Excite [that]. One's got [our] hurt in 1997
They registered the domain name google a term taken from the mathematical figure of [one] followed by 100 zeros and [II] bitch [toll] shim
Co-founder [of] successful tech companies sun Microsystems gave them
$100,000 for start-up money that same month in august of 1998 the world was witness to the first Google doodle Balerion sergey
We're about to head off to the burning man festival in Nevada an event that would last several days. Oh
Fairness to let people know they would be away
They put a sketch of the iconic man into their logo upon returning the [two]
Incorporated the company set up the shop in a friend's garage and hired their first employee by the end of the year magazines were already
Praising the search engine for its innovation and relevant results compared to Rivals like yahoo
hot box excite and ask Jeeves
Remember that one. I do PC [magazine] picked their page as the search engine of choice in 1998 a few months later
They [had] outgrown their garage office
And we're looking to expand once they move their offices to Palo alto. They started to look like the Google offices we know today
With office dogs coming into work and company chefs to feed their googlers. They even have like napping pods
[that's] ridiculous
So basically they pack this truck in from the freight elevator and then [doctor] right there yeah, then on June 7th
1999 Google announced Major investors
Had put in equity funds totaling [25] million dollars those same investors encouraged
Brin and page to take on a ceo for the company the two hired Eric schmidt as Google's first ceo in august of
2001 in the Span of just six months Google Outgrew their office space again and
Relocated the company was growing at an incredible rate with their first sales team in New York and expanding the number of languages
You can search the 15 yeah
I have a hard time just working with one the term Google it also made its first appearance on television on the show
Buffy the vampire Slayer [this] was in 2002. Have you googled [there] yet Willow she's 17
Initially page and Brin were strongly against using ads to finance the site
But soon changed their minds. It allowed simple texted advertisements through Google [Adwords]
[it] was a straightforward tool because owners of all sizes could use to advertise [to] Target Keywords and get feedback on how their
we're doing and
They were on something really big Google and quietly grown in size and revenue while many of its Rivals fell to the wayside
while page and brand weren't quite ready to give up [control] of their company they began talking about an initial public offering of Shares as
Their IPo was underway Microsoft proposed a partnership or merger with Google and that deal will it got shot down pretty quick
as
The company prepared to go public in 2004 Larry and Sergey published a letter talking about their plans for the company's future
Called the don't be Evil
manifesto yeah
They pretty much stated they believed in doing good things for [people] and for the world in the long run instead of opting for
Evil Short-term gains and profits and they still wanted to go to burning man once a year and have a bit of fun of course
[in] March 2004 they had once again outgrown their work space and [moved] to their still current office called the Googleplex in Mountain view
California in just six years they had gone from working out of their friend's garage to employing over 800 people at their headquarters
The next month on April Fool's their favorite day
They launched gmAil which today has over 425 million users
But good luck changing your original gmAil address. I can't figure it out email either. That's really neat on August 18
2004 Google offered Nineteen point six million shares of its company to the public
With the opening price of eighty five dollars a share the shares while they sold like hotcakes
Raising one point six seven billion for the company increasing its market value to over twenty three billion dollars and making many of its workers
over night millionaires
