How did entrepreneur Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google started his success?

and pattern extraction for leading academic journals, including “Extracting Patterns and Relations from the World Wide Web,”

Larry also created a website for film ratings

and designed a software application to translate documents from TeX, the text processing language often used for scientific papers, to HTML

At Stanford, Sergey Brin met fellow computer science graduate student Larry

who recruited him to join his research project.

They ran the prototype of their search engine BackRub

on an assortment of inexpensive personal computers stored in Larry Page’s dorm room.

The domain google.com was registered in 1997.

The domain name was derived from the term “googol,” the very large number written as a one followed by 100 zeros, an expression of the vast universe of data the Google search engine was designed to explore.

Page & Brin incorporated Google as a privately held company in 1998
