* I think you having a information about google which you uses daily, so Here I'm to giving you Detail about " Google Inc. "
Here, we go..
One Quetion For You , What were you up to 13 years ago? Maybe you were perfecting the ideal AIM screen name. Or you might have been surfing the “WestHollywood” neighborhood of GeoCities. Chances are, you had been using Yahoo! or AOL as your primary search engines. But Google’s debut on this day in 1998would change the World Wide Web forever.
On September 4, 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin filed for incorporation as Google Inc. — they had received a $100,000 check from an investor made out to Google, Inc., and needed to incorporate that name so they could legally deposit the check.
Prior to the launch, Page and Brin met at Stanford in 1995, and soon decided to launch a search service called BackRub in January 1996. They soon reevaluated the name (and the creepy logo) in favor of Google, a play on the mathematical figure, “googol,” which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The name embodied their mission to create an infinite amount of web resources. And that they did.
Since then, Google has become a household name to billions of people worldwide. You’ll overhear senior citizens command their grandchildren to “google” the price of foot cream. You’ll witness toddlers punching the screen of the latest Android phone. And chances are, you’ve navigated the circles of Google+ (if not, let’s get you an invite already)
We’d like to guide you on a trip down Google lane, presenting the key products and acquisitions that were born in the first Google garage office, and innovated in the Googleplex. In the comments below, please share how Google has had an impact on your life, and join us in wishing Google a happy birthday!

1996-1997: BackRub
Google
was first launched under the BackRub nomer. Soon after, founders Larry
Page and Sergey Brin registered the Google.com domain name in September
1997. The two arrived at the name as a play on the mathematical figure,
"googol," which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. The name
embodied their mission to create an infinite amount of web resources.
1998: Google's First Homepage
The
original Google homepage prototype debuted in November 1998. Earlier
that year Google received a $100,000 check made out to
as-yet-unestablished Google Inc. from first investor Andy Bechtolsheim.
In September 2008, the two founders set up shop in Susan Wojcicki‘s garage in Menlo Park, CA, deposited their check and hired their first employee, Craig Silverstein.

1999: The Uncle Sam Homepage
Apart
from adding Uncle Sam to its homepage, in 1999 Google outgrew its next
office and moved to its first Mountain View, California location. The
team announced $25 million in equity funding from Sequoia Capital and
Kleiner Perkins in its first press release.
2000: Google Becomes Yahoo's Default Search Provider
Apart
from its partnership with Yahoo, in 2000 Google announced that its
index reached the 1 billion-URL mark, making it the largest search
engine in the world. Google also launched AdWord, a self-service ad
program that allowed people to purchase keyword advertising that would
appear alongside search results.
2001: Google Image Search
Image
search launched in July 2001 with an index of 250 million images. That
same year Google acquired Deja Usenet and archived its index into
categories that ultimately made up Google Groups.
2002: Google Search Appliance
Early
in 2002 Google marketed its first hardware, the Google Search
Appliance, a device that plugged into a computer and provided advanced
search capabilities for internal documents. In May Google announced
Labs, a resource for people interested in trying out beta programs
emerging from Google's R&D team. Later Google launched its News tool
that provided links from 4,000 sources.
2003: AdSense
Google
announced the world's largest content-targeted ad program, later dubbed
AdSense after Google acquired Applied Semantics. Earlier in the year
Google acquired Pyra Labs, the creator of Blogger.
2004: Gmail
Google
launched Gmail on April Fool's Day 2004, but the beta version required
an invitation to join. In January Orkut launched as Google's foray into
social networking. In August, Google's initial public offering contained
19,605,052 shares of Class A common stock at $85 per share.
2005: Google Maps
Google Maps launched in February 2005, to go live on the first iPhone in 2007. Additionally, code.google.com
went live to provide resources for developers, and included all of
Google's APIs. The company also acquired Urchin, whose content
optimization service helped create Google Analytics, launched later that
year. In June Google released Google Earth, a satellite-powered mapping
service. In October Reader was unveiled to help organize and
consolidate content into a single feed.
2006: YouTube
In
a $1.65 billion stock transaction, Google acquired YouTube in October
2006. Google also unveiled Trends, a tool that allows a user to evaluate
popular searches over a specific timeframe. Earlier that year Google
released Gchat, a Gmail-based instant message service derived from
Google Talk. Google Checkout emerged later as a way to pay for online
purchases.
2007: Android
In
November 2007 Google announced its first mobile venture, Android, which
the company called "the first open platform for mobile devices."
2008: Google Chrome
In
September 2008 Google introduced Chrome, its open source browser. The
surprise was spoiled when the comic book that was meant to help debut
Chrome leaked a day ahead of schedule. Later that month T-mobile
announced the G1, Google's first Android-powered mobile device. That
year Google also added Google Suggest capabilities and site search.
2009: Google Wave
To
much anticipation, Google announced its venture into real-time
communication via the Wave platform. Little more than a year later,
however, Wave was no more. That same year Google launched Mac-based
photo application Picasa.
2010: Google Apps Marketplace
In
2010 Google launched its Apps Marketplace, an app store that allows
third-party developers to sell their creations. That same year Google
unveiled Google Buzz, its latest attempt at social sharing that
originated in Gmail. The company also released Google TV after teaming
up with Intel, Sony and Logitech.
2011: Google+
Google's
most talked-about and participatory social platform thus far, Google+
launched in June 2011 with invite-only access. The tech giant also
announced its most expensive acquisition to-date when it bought Motorola
Mobility for $12.5 billion.
