I talk about Google a lot on here – so it’s only right that I take some time today to wish them a happy 16th birthday. Google has came quiet a long way over these past 16 years.
Technically speaking Google incorporated on September 4, 1998 in Menlo Park, California by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, while the Google.com domain name was registered on September 15, 1997. Up until 2005, Google celebrated the event on September 7, but they decided to move the birthday bash to September 27 in order to coincide with one of the company’s big announcements regarding a record number of pages that the search engine had indexed (30 million).
So happy birthday Google. You’ve come a long way, and I can’t wait to see what you do in the coming years.
