On September 15, 1977, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two 24-year-old Stanford students, registered the 'Google.com' domain name. The name is a play on the word googol, equal to 10 100. Google chose this name to represent the company's mission to organize the huge amount of information online.

A year later, Page and Brin started to set up a Google company in a friend's garage in Northern California.

These ads use text only, not images to keep the page simple and avoid clutter and also make the page appear faster.
