***** old people. - jaybol, on 12/19/2008, -5/+34"10^100 (a gigantic number) is a googol, but we liked the spelling "Google" better. We picked the name "Google" because our goal is to make huge quantities of information available to everyone. And it sounds cool and has only six letters."
- pinsomniac, on 12/20/2008, -0/+28"When Google was a Stanford research project, it was nicknamed BackRub because the technology checks backlinks to determine a site's importance."
