The idea for Google began in 1996 as a cool web search engine programming project called Pagerank by Larry Page and Sergey Brin and Scott Hassan.
Where most search engines were basically collections of websites shown on base of keywords, Pagerank would sort the search results based on both keywords and also how much connections websites had with each other.
Hassan wrote a lot of the initial code, but would leave the project early to concentrate more on his passion for robotics.
Brin and Page however kept expending the project and thus on September 4 1998 the company “Google” was born.💻
Once a mere app.
Now it’s everywhere.
Even in your pocket!
