Googling Google

December 18, 2008 by dashaver

Google has given us new words for our language. If we want to find all about something we Google it. Programmers and web masters such as myself can learn about programming language or style sheet properties just by typing them in the search box. So to find about Google let’s Google Google.

Google, which was originally called Backrub, was launched in 1998. Success came from the relevance of its search results. The name comes from the term googol which means 1 followed 100 zeros.

A growing list of free, advertising supported features such as G-mail, Google Desktop, Google Office and Google Maps have helped to increase the users of Google. Did you know that you can access Google Appointment Calendar and G-mail, from IGoogle? You can also add a Desktop gadget for a To-Do list or phone or address book. I also use it for my RSS reader. I can read the Huffington Post and keep up my email on t he same page.
