I remember 10 years ago, 1998, or maybe closer to 1999, I was working at Pervasive Software working with a great group of folks, building an embedded DB for mobile, embedded devices, and smart-cards; a cool project with great people that was ahead of its time.
One of my co-workers said, “Enrique, come see this search engine”. It was Google. Back then, as I understand it, Google was running at the founder’s university dormitories (or apartment, whatever it was). I remember the basic/simple white search page, as it is today (not the iGoogle page). The search engine worked fine. I do remember thinking “why another search engine? i.e. there is Yahoo!”.
Today Google rules the world…
Google is Brain pictured above; “What are we doing tonight, Brain, I mean, Google? Well Pinky, same as we do every night, Try and Take Over the Connected, Web and Mobile Worlds!
Happy Birthday Google…
The SEOExpert blog has a very good article/summary about Google at 10 years.
