Google is one of those words that "spring up", and it’s now known everywhere. Google was founded in 1998 by Larry Page and Russian born Sergey Brin, both students at Stanford University at the time. It has rapidly mushroomed so that it stands proudly today as the largest, best known and most often used, available search engines.
Without expensive advertising, Google began its march to the top spot, by innovating, and focusing on producing exactly what was wanted by the users; the maximum relevancy of results, with the minimum waiting time.
