Google's 13th birthday


 Happy birthday Google;;;

Google has had a tradition of doodles for its "birthday."

Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in California.

Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine "BackRub."

Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word "googol." the number one followed by 100 zeros.

In May 2011, unique visitors of Google surpassed one billion mark for the first time, an 8.4 percent increase from a year ago with 931 million unique visitors. — RSJ, GMA News
