Larry Page and Sergey Brin believed in Google from the start. Even so, it?s doubtful they envisioned a future where Google would be the number one search engine in the world. And they couldn?t have predicted the phrase ?Google it!? would become synonymous with ?Look it up!? On September 7, 1998, the search engine company Google officially became Google Incorporated. Founded by Larry Page and his business partner, Sergey Brin, while graduate students at Stanford University, Google was a joint vision the pair made a reality. What started in Larry Page?s California dorm room became a worldwide success story in a remarkably short amount of time. It?s a success story that keeps on growing.
