Larry Page and Sergey Brin
When he was doing his education at Stanford University he met with Larry Page. Both were arguing at the beginning of their friendship, but after spending a lot of time together they became close friends. Brin’s main focus was on working together to develop the PageRank algorithm; they found that they should build a Search Engine in which one web page links with another web page, and that allowed their rank and number of links. They decided to combine their ideas. They used the dormitory room used as a machine laboratory and spare parts of computers and connected that search engine from Stanford broadband in the campus network. Then they convert that room into a programming centre and office. When they were testing their search engine Stanford’s computer infrastructure was facing problems. At Stanford, they collected users working on research projects in the year 1995. In 1996, they built a type of search engine named “BackRub”. They tried it on the university server for many months.
In the year 1998, Page and Brin introduced Google Inc. Initially its name was Googol. It is derived from one followed by a hundred zeros- which also represents a large amount of data that can be explored. He appointed himself CEO of the company and Brin co-founder and served as Google president.
