History of Google in Timeline Form

October 15, 2013

Like many other companies, Google too has created a history of itself. Not only is there a company overview, but their company history page means business. From 1995 to 2013, there is a full timeline of notable events, fun facts and details galore.

For a company that set out to chronicle and archive a seemingly infinite amount of data and information, this comes as no surprise that the company would ensure an in-depth, yet user-friendly, timeline is provided of their history. They did after all develop the annual Google Zeitgeist, a visual look at what millions of people searched for over the year just ending.

Another fun tidbit from the timeline:

“September, 2002: Google News launches with 4,000 news sources. Today Google News includes 50,000+ news sources, with 70 regional editions in different languages. All told, Google News and other services send publishers 6 billion clicks per month as of 2012.”

Somewhat ironically, when we performed a query of ‘history of Google’ we came across a news story regarding Google and historical dates. We’ll let that title speak for itself: “Google Generation Clueless About Dates of World-Changing Events.”
