Ch. 1 - Overview of Marketing (Brief History and Mission Statement)

Google began in 1996 as a project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. While studying in Stanford University California, Larry and Sergey came up with a plan to make a search engine that ranked websites according to the number of websites that linked to that site, and ultimately came up with the Google we have today. The domain Google.com was registered in September 14 1997 and Google corporation was a formed a year later in September 1998. Google is a billion dollar organization that exists not only to satisfy it's searchers but it has changed the world allowing us to process several hundred million search queries a day, from every country around the world. I am committed to follow the Google company for the next fifteen weeks, and i am also committed to providing an informal yet professional statement each week after reading and applying the elements from chapters of the book.
