            Have you ever Googled something and wondered why is it called that? Or what is its origin? Or where did it come from? Created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin on September 4, 1998, it was private until 2004. The goal was to ”organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful”. Google came from the number googol which is one and one hundred zeros(10,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000,­000!) and actually misspelled googol as google too. Google has many product like Youtube, Blogger, Google Play, Orkut, Earth, Books, Picasa, Offers,Sites, Gmail, Drive/Docs,Google+, Maps, Search, Photos and much more. Apps like Google+ and Orkut are social network similar to Facebook. Search, Photos, and even Youtube are apps used for a search.
