History Lesson: Eleven Years of Google

Google’s 11th birthday has come and gone this past week but that didn’t stop PCWorld from taking a look at eleven years of computing with the search and advertising giant. Do you remember how you searched or worked prior to Google? I was a big WebCrawler and Lycos user when I was using Mosaic and used the various Archie derivatives prior.

Google's actual founding date is subject to debate. There are those who think that Google should bring out the cake on the September 4, the day in 1998 thatGoogle filed its incorporation papers and officially became Google, Inc. Still others think that Google should recognize September 15, 1997 as its founding date, as that is when Google registered the google.com domain.
