What is Google and what does it mean?

 Google is the world’s most popular search engine, but what exactly does it mean? Most people who use the Internet have heard of Google, but when you ask them to explain what the company does, they probably won’t be able to answer your question completely. This article will provide you with the meaning of Google and some fun facts about the company that you may not have known about before!

Google, Google Inc., and its parent company Alphabet Inc., are among the most valuable companies in the world in terms of market capitalization, are valued at $565 billion as of July 2018. As of September 2018, Google has an 84% market share on search engine market share across all platforms (desktop, mobile web, and mobile app) globally, and 89% worldwide (88% in the US).

 Google’s mission statement from the outset was to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. But what exactly does that mean? What information do they organize?

What is Google?

Simply put, Google is a search engine. It's designed to be simple and fast, so you can quickly find exactly what you're looking for on your computer or phone. But there's more to it than that! In fact, Google has evolved into a verb in common English usage: if you're looking for something on your phone, for example, you might say, Let me Google that for you.

Beyond being a search engine, Google makes all kinds of products that are designed to help you connect with other people (like Gmail), keep up with information as it happens (News & Finance), find answers fast (Maps & Images), spend less time online (Adsense) and much more.

What is Google's mission?

This answer has been disputed many times as Google's mission in an interview of co-founder Larry Page, Google's mission is to organize all of the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. And for new employees, there’s a slightly longer version: Google's mission statement from day one has been 'to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

We've changed our mission statement over time but we have always tried to embody that spirit. Our vision remains to organize all of the world's information. The power of people at Google comes from understanding how they can bring their unique skills to bear on a range of projects that help us achieve our missions.

Benefits of the Google

The search engine that we have today was not Google’s first attempt at a web browser. Its first attempts were less sophisticated but no less ambitious in terms of global impact. Back in 1998, then called BackRub, was a search engine that was limited to ranking its own student-created pages on Stanford University’s servers.

Just three years later, though, Page and Brin dropped BackRub in favor of their new creation: Google – an homage to googolplex (meaning 10 raised to a power of 100). The new Google focused solely on linking users to existing websites through its algorithms.

How did Google get started?

In 1996, Larry Page was a Ph.D. student at Stanford University when he started what would eventually become Google. Along with his partner Sergey Brin, Page was building a search engine that relied on links instead of keywords for finding information online—he was dubbed an information retrieval expert.

 While googol has no meaning beyond its definition as a number – perhaps it's not surprising that Page gave his startup name an equally obscure derivation: in a derisive reference to competitors' search engines (particularly AltaVista), he removed three letters from their names and reversed them to spell googol.

How do People use the Google Search engine?

According to a comScore report, 96.2% of Internet users in the United States used Google Search in 2012. They did so approximately 13 times per month (Google 2012). With over 1 billion unique users each month, it's no wonder that people want to know more about what exactly makes up their beloved search engine. So how do they use it?

While most people probably use Google Search for searching information on different topics, there are certain ways that they get their questions answered. In fact, there are even some rules you can follow to increase your likelihood of getting a relevant answer to your question quickly. Among these rules are using acronyms such as MGTOW or MGTOW, which stands for Men Going Their Own Way.

Conclusion

The origin of Google’s name refers to a mathematical term for one followed by 100 zeros. Since its launch in 1998, Google has grown into one of the most popular search engines on earth and has expanded into more than just web-based search.

In fact, today you can find all sorts of information using Google. Perhaps most notable are its services that include internet-enabled devices such as cell phones and televisions, as well as online applications like email services.

 Indeed, chances are that if you’re reading an online newspaper or magazine website right now, then you’re using a service powered by Google; Gmail alone has over 425 million users worldwide. When was your last email sent or received through an email service other than Gmail?
