Google turns 10

In the interest of full disclosure, we’d like to note that our source for this post is none other than Yahoo News, who carried a story crowning Google as "the Official Heart of the Internet". Figure that one out…Google.com was registered by Larry Page and Sergey Brin on September 15th, 1997. At the time, both men were 24 year old Stanford University students. They are now two of the richest, most influential men in the technology sector. They’re each worth more than $16 billion. In just 10 short years, the company has gone from dorm room "chic" to worldwide status, quickly becoming the Gold standard for internet search, advertising, maps, email, and video content. It’s services, including Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Adsense, Google Search, and much more have become household names. What does the next 10 years have in store? Who knows, but we’re pretty excited to strap in and go along for the ride.

    Happy birthday Google, even if your parents don’t know how to spell your name right (Googol), we still love you.

    Bringing so much to the public, providing jobs for creative minds, I’d be really proud to found a company that did so much even if it didn’t benefit myself at all.
