Have you ever wondered what GOOGLE stands for? What it means, or is it just.... Well You Tell Me?
Google is one of the most popular brands on the Internet and this was proved by the numerous surveys conducted by the research companies. Because it is so famous, most of the Internet users are frequently talking about it just like about a person. But have you ever asked yourselves what Google means
or at least where the Google term comes from? Well, Dictionary.com, one of the most popular web-based dictionaries defines Google as "a trademark used for an Internet search engine. This trademark often occurs in print as a verb, sometimes in lowercase."
But still no definition of the world. According to the Google guys, the company's name comes from the word 'googol' which is actually a number invented by Milton Sirotta. Probably the Google name is related to the number of the results provided by the search technology which is usually huge.
"The name 'Google' is a play on the word 'googol,' coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner. A 'googol' refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by 100 zeros. It's a very large number. In fact, there isn't a googol of anything in the universe -- not stars, not dust particles, not atoms. Google's use of the term reflects our mission to organize the world's immense (seemingly infinite) amount of information and make it universally accessible and useful," Google tried to explain the origins of the company's name.
Because it is a company name, Google is a noun. Logically. However, slowly but sure, it evolves and tends to become a verb as numerous users refer to the act of searching the Internet as "googling". For example, I heard some friends saying "I'm going to Google it," meaning that they will search the Internet using the Google search engine.
What is your opinion? Do you have one, do you use it? What is the DEAL? Or No Deal?
Right now, everyone who doesn’t live under a rock or even if they did, they know what “Google” is. Just a few years ago, it is an unknown name. In fact, when someone heard about it, their first reaction would be “What?”.
Google is mostly associated with its core service, the search engine. Through the years though, the company has developed a variety of products, software, and web applications that boxing it in as a search engine just won’t do anymore.
What does Google mean?
According to the corporate website, their name came from the word “Googol”, the “mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeroes”.
It is impressive how the company use of the term. It shows their dedication in organizing the countless amounts of data on the internet. It has achieved its mission to organize information and make it accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
Their search engine is also available on different domains, in many languages. Which allows them to reach out to a lot of users worldwide.
It is a bit perplexing to me and all that it is, I would love to hear what other people have to say on the subject?
Keeping you informed every step of the way.
