nagtanong ako kay Pareng Google kung san nag simula ang GOOGLE!!! eto guys basahin nyo...hahaha CURIOUS TALAGA KO EHH!!!! hahahaha The name Google originated from a misspelling of googol,which refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros. Page and Brin write in their original paper on PageRank:We chose our systems name, Google, because it is a common spelling of googol, or 10100 and fits well with our goal of building very large-scale search engines. There are uses of the name going back at least as far as the creation of the comic strip character Barney Google in 1919. Enid Blyton used the phrase Google Bun in The Magic Faraway Tree (published 1941) The Folk of the Faraway Tree (published 1946), and called a clown character Google in Circus Days Again (published 1942).There is also the Googleplex Star Thinker from Douglas Adams The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. In March 1996 a business called Groove Track Productions applied for a United States trademark for Google for various products including several categories of clothing, stuffed toys, board games, and candy. The firm abandoned its application in July 1997. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb google was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet. The use of the term itself reflects their mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.In November 2009, the Global Language Monitor named Google No. 7 on its Top Words of the Decade list. In December 2009 the BBC highlighted Google in their Portrait of the Decade (Words) series. In May 2012, David Elliott filed a complaint against Google, Inc. claiming that Google’s once distinctive mark GOOGLE® has become generic and lacks trademark significance due to its common use as a transitive verb. After losing to Google in UDRP proceedings involving many “Google-related” domain name registrations that he owns, Elliott now seeks a declaratory judgment that his domain names are rightfully his, that they do not infringe any trademark rights Google may own, and that all Google’s registered GOOGLE® marks should be cancelled since “Google” is now a common generic word worldwide that means “to search the Internet.”
