I chose the Google Company as my topic because I like what I read about what the Company offers to its employees. Fortune magazine named Google one of the best one hundred companies to work for. The many perks that this company gives are over whelming. It’s so great to see a company that is so good to its employees. Not too many companies can do that today or really want too. A happy worker is a productive worker. The facts are in that more computer users use Google computer search engine than any other search engine. I’m one of those too, who like Google than Yahoo or AOL. Google.com started in 1995 by two graduate students. Sergey Brin and Larry Page while attending Stanford University. These two computer graduate students decided to do some brainstorming on the idea of a computer search engine, which they called “BackRub”. They wanted to find something better than AOL.com Their search engine ran on the college servers, for a year, but the college was not to happy with this arrangement because “BackRub” took up to much bandwidth on the servers. A year later the two graduate students decided to change the name to Google, a play on the word “Googol,” a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by one hundred zeros. The use of the term reflects their mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the World Wide Web (Google).
Sun co-founder, Andy Bechtolsheim was so impressed with what the two students had, that he wrote a check for $100,000 to an entity that doesn’t exist yet: a company called Google Inc (Google).
In 1998, “PC Magazine” reports that Google “has an uncanny knack for returning extremely relevant results” and recognizes the Google Company as the search engine of choice in the Top one hundred Web Sites (Google).
