The most popular Internet-based services that we use today, Google, was launched in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, students at Stanford University, California, to market Google search and today it has become the most widely used search engine. The first-ever search algorithm that they built in 1996 was named ‘BackRub’, and it was a success! With its initial public offering in 2004, the company makes a rapid growth, quickly becoming one of the largest media companies in the world. Google launched Google News in 2002, Gmail in 2004 and Google Maps in the next year, Google Chrome in 2008, and the social networking platform Google+ in 2011.
