Happy Birthday, Google!

Published by Sierra Monica B., on Sep 27 2008, in the categories: News





Our favorite search engine commemorates its 10th birthday and the Google logo that you see on the homepage was inspired from the original one from 1998, when the Google history started officially.


The world’s most popular search engine was registered as a domain back in 1997 and in 1998 was named the Top Search Engine by PC Magazine. In the same year it launched the Google Friends Newsletter and the first prototype for the homepage.




By 1999 press revealed the first positive reports about the Google search engine, while in 2000 the 10 language versions were released for French, German, Italian, Swedish, Finnish, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Norwegian and Danish, after which it became the world’s largest search engine with 1 billion URLs indexed, announcing also the Google AdWords service and the Google Toolbar. Google Image Search was launched in 2001, when the web index reached 3 billion documents.
One year after, Google News was launched with 4000 news sources, while in 2003 it acquired Blogger.com, and launched Google AdSense.

The year 2004 was full of innovation for Google, as it brought the Official Google Blog, Gmail, Google SMS, Google Desktop Search, and many, many others, reaching 8 billion web pages index.

In 2005 It launched Google Maps, the Search History feature, iGoogle, Mobile Web Search, Google Earth, Google Talk, Google Blog Search, Google Reader, the Analytics, and Gmail for mobile.

What happened in 2006 probably starts to sound more familiar to you all. There appeared Picassa, Google Chat, Google News on mobile, Google Finance, Calendar, Google Trends, Google Docs and Spreadsheets, and YouTube was acquired.




In 2007 you started to search through Google Maps’ traffic information, Hot Trends, Street View for Maps, Google Earth, and even Maps on the iPhone. Android mobile platforms became one of the hottest subjects of discussion in all newspapers.

This year, Arabians finally got the chance to search on Google writing their queries from the right to the left. Other cool new features introduced during this year include Doodle 4 Google, FriendConnect, Google Translate in 10 more languages, Google Finance real-time stock quotes, Google Search for the iPhone, Google Chrome web browser, and a big and fat URL index of over 1 trillion web pages.
Ten years and still counting…

  • Happy Birthday Google You Rule said on 09/27/2008:

    [...] Ten years and counting… Just one year after it launched, in 1999, first positive reports from the users came out and were published in PC Magazine. Everybody was using the new Google search engine to find things on the Internet and soon they all had the chance to learn about tones of new cool utilities during the next years, such as images, maps, traffic information, email, blogs, and many other stuff, all done in multiple languages. The innovative search engine also allows people that use right-to-left languages to enter their queries in the magic box and find what they need in the shortest time and with highest accuracy compared to other search engines. In 2008 we have Maps on the iPhone, Google Translate, the Android mobile platform, and a cool new web browser called Chrome, which many of us already started to use it. The PlayerzBlog team wishes you Happy Birthday, Google!  Loading ... These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages. [...]
