Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University. The search engine was originally nicknamed 'Backrub' because the system checked back-links to estimate the importance of a site. They eventually changed the name to Google, a play on the mathematical expression for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, reflecting their mission to organize a vast amount of information.
