From search engines to advertising, email and smartphones, Google has been vital in changing the way we connect with the world and consume information. Today, Google has turned 23. Technically, Google turned 23 years old on September 4, 2021, but the company shifted its anniversary celebrations from September 4 to September 27 in 2005, in celebration of reaching a new record in terms of indexed pages. Google started as a research project on Stanford’s private network in 1996 and received $1,00,000 as its first angel investment in 1998, and as of now, its market capitalisation stands at a shade under $2 trillion. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Here’s a look at the fascinating journey of Google from a university project to one of the most impactful companies of the 21st century." comment="subhead" text="Here’s a look at the fascinating journey of Google from a university project to one of the most impactful companies of the 21st century.">Here’s a look at the fascinating journey of Google from a university project to one of the most impactful companies of the 21st century.</cmsannotation> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="1996: Google launched on Stanford University’s private network as BackRub" comment="subhead" text="1996: Google launched on Stanford University’s private network as BackRub">1996: Google launched on Stanford University’s private network as BackRub</cmsannotation> Google co-founders <keyword id="100155" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Larry-page" source="Orion">Larry Page</keyword> and <keyword id="100154" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sergey-brin" source="Orion">Sergey Brin</keyword> started Google as a research project on Stanford University’s private network. Initially known as BackRub, it was Page’s idea to crawl pages for backlinks and understand how to rank them. Both Page and Brin came together to launch PageRank, an algorithm that ranked pages based on the linking behaviour across pages. This would go on to be the foundation of the most powerful and dominant search engine in the world. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="1997: Google.com domain registered" comment="subhead" text="1997: Google.com domain registered">1997: Google.com domain registered</cmsannotation> The Google.com domain was registered a year before the company was incorporated. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="1998: Google incorporated with $1,00,000 angel funding" comment="subhead" text="1998: Google incorporated with $1,00,000 angel funding">1998: Google incorporated with $1,00,000 angel funding</cmsannotation> Google incorporated with an angel investment of $1,00,000 from Sun Microsystems’ co-founder Andy Bechtolsheim.

However, this began with the Burning Man festival on August 30, 1998. Today, the search giant is celebrating its own birthday with a doodle on its homepage. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2001: Eric Schmidt joins Google" comment="subhead" text="2001: Eric Schmidt joins Google">2001: Eric Schmidt joins Google</cmsannotation> Larry Page and Sergey Brin bring Eric Schmidt onboard to provide guidance to a rapidly growing company. Brin later remarked that they needed <a href="https://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2011/01/20/about-eric-schmidts-adult-supervision-comment/">“adult supervision”</a>. Prior to joining Google, Schmidt was the CTO of Sun Microsystems and the CEO of Novell. He became Google’s CEO in August and oversaw the launch of Google’s IPO, Gmail and Android, among others. He remained in the position for 10 years before moving to the position of executive chairman. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2002: Google turns down Yahoo’s $3 billion acquisition offer" comment="subhead" text="2002: Google turns down Yahoo’s $3 billion acquisition offer">2002: Google turns down Yahoo’s $3 billion acquisition offer</cmsannotation> One of the biggest decisions for Page and Brin was declining Yahoo’s $3 billion acquisition offer. The zinger is the fact that they declined the offer because they thought Google was worth $5 billion. A mere $2 billion more and Yahoo would have had a $2 trillion worth company in its portfolio today. Then again, who knows if Google would have ever achieved the growth that it did if it had been acquired by Yahoo. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2002: Google News launched" comment="subhead" text="2002: Google News launched">2002: Google News launched</cmsannotation> After turning down Yahoo’s offer earlier in the year, Google launched a news aggregation service called Google News.

Offering free email with 1GB storage, this was launched as a limited beta, and the exclusivity drove its adoption initially. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2004: Google goes public at a valuation of $27 billion" comment="subhead" text="2004: Google goes public at a valuation of $27 billion">2004: Google goes public at a valuation of $27 billion</cmsannotation> Google went public in 2004, launching its billion-dollar IPO. It mopped up $1.7 billion from the listing, giving it a valuation of $27 billion at $85 per share. Google’s shares are currently trading at $2,844. This does not account for the bonus shares, stock split and rights issue that Google may have announced since the IPO, but it should give a decent idea about the wealth accumulation that has happened over the course of the last 17 years. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="2005: Google acquires Android" comment="subhead" text="2005: Google acquires Android">2005: Google acquires Android</cmsannotation> Google acquired Andy Rubin’s Android operating system.

Google’s birthday: Here's a look at the significant milestones in Google's 23-year history

<ul><li><keyword id="6355629" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="google" source="Orion">Google</keyword> has completed 23 years on the internet.</li><li>The tech giant is synonymous with the internet and most people can’t imagine the internet without it.</li><li>But it’s also had its fair share of problems such as antitrust cases, regulatory issues, internal conflicts and more.</li></ul>Google completes 23 years and in true Google fashion, it has a special Doodle with a birthday cake. While celebrations are in order, Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google’s $1.9 trillion parent Alphabet, and his team will do well to remember one of founder Eric Schmidt’s famous quote: “ego creates blind spots.” At 23, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/googles-birthday-heres-a-look-at-the-significant-milestones-in-googles-23-year-history/articleshow/86552451.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">Google</a> is as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, a tech giant that tracks everything from what we eat to where we go and who we like. <div type="image" title="google doodle" msid="86556474" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Google Doodle for the tech giant&amp;#39;s 23rd birthday.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Google’s dominance in the smartphone market with the Android operating system, as well as the online advertising market and internet search, is no secret to anyone. It’s synonymous with the internet and most people can’t imagine the internet without it. And so, the responsibility of behaving fairly is just as big. Countries around the world are taking a critical look at the technology that has embedded itself in our society and asking companies like Google to earn their trust. It is important to note that in at least three cases, the verdicts are pending but the company has been found guilty of similar charges in the past at least thrice. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Antitrust cases" comment="subhead" text="Antitrust cases">Antitrust cases</cmsannotation> The European Union has launched three antitrust investigations into Google which have resulted in the biggest fines for the tech giant. The investigations are based on complaints against Google having dominance over digital advertising, its Android operating system as well as Google Shopping. Google was accused of showing its own products in the search results, and ads that use AdSense. It was also accused of the Android operating system that put Google apps on the forefront, and also made it difficult for other app stores to exist with the Google Play Store. <table

cases and investigations point out the same allegations of how Google unfairly controls what we search for, what we read, watch and purchase and a lot more. This prevents rivals with similar products from offering their services to customers. In addition to these cases, several countries are reconsidering regulations and policies. Australia made history this year by passing a law that requires companies such as Facebook and Google to pay local publishers for news. Google initially threatened to remove its search engine from Australia but it later struck deals with news publishers for news. Recently, another <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/apple-and-googles-ability-to-take-a-cut-of-every-app-purchase-is-in-peril-due-to-a-new-south-korean-bill/articleshow/85804681.cms">South Korean government</a> also passed a bill that would allow third-party payment systems on Google and Apple app stores. If the bill is signed then it would make South Korea the first country to impose a law on Google and Apple preventing them from forcing their own payment services on in-app purchases. Google and Apple both have been criticised for their 30% app store commissions through in-app purchases. In response to the backlash from developers, Google and Apple both reduced the 30% cut to 15%. Google actually deferred the Play Store policy to April 2022 after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/google-defers-30-play-store-app-fee-for-developers-in-india-till-march-2022/articleshow/78486826.cms">backlash from Indian startups</a> like Paytm. Google has also been facing an antitrust probe in India on allegations that the company prevents OEMs from making devices that run alternative versions of Android. Google’s requirement of pre-installing its apps was also found to be in violation of India’s competition law. Epic Games, which is in a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/apple-and-epic-games-are-revealing-a-ton-of-industry-secrets-in-court-filings-from-untold-billions-in-fortnite-profits-to-private-email-exchanges-these-are-the-5-juiciest-bits/articleshow/82481641.cms">legal battle with Apple</a>, introduced its own payment system for Fortnite and has since been unavailable on iOS. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Internal issues" comment="subhead" text="Internal issues">Internal issues</cmsannotation> Internally too the company has several issues with those about diversity in the limelight. Back in 2019 Google’s diversity chief left the company following an uproar from employees over the workplace culture. Its most recent <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/these-7-graphs-lay-bare-googles-diversity-problem/articleshow/64635424.cms">diversity report</a> also showed little progress. 50% of Google’s workforce is white, 42% Asian, 6.4% Latinx, 4.4% Black and 0.8% Native American. Google was also in the news for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/former-google-ai-researcher-timnit-gebru-accused-sundar-pichai-of-glossing-over-her-dismissal-with-a-non-apology-designed-to-make-the-company-look-good/articleshow/79741979.cms">Timnit Gebru’s exit</a> who was co-leading the company’s AI ethical team. Gebru was asked to retract a paper on the dangers of large language models which she refused to do so. Gebru said that she was fired but Google refuted this claim stating that she actually resigned. She also accused the company of racism and retaliation. This led to Google employees, academics and civil society supporters condemning the firing, and even CEO Sundar Pichai apologised for it but without admitting any wrongdoing. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="There’s a lot else happening at Google" comment="subhead" text="There’s a lot else happening at Google">There’s a lot else happening at Google</cmsannotation> Google has earned its cred as an innovator ahead of its times with products and services that have a profound social impact. Just as in its early days, there are tonnes of interesting projects underway at Google, many of which are not as popular as Gmail or the search engine. Whether it is the continued pursuit of the smartphone dream ⁠— from Nexus to now, the Pixel series ⁠— or the jump from multiple messaging apps to a bundled offering called ‘Chat’, Google doesn’t give up.

While these ideas and innovations are welcome, their commercial success will depend on whether people trust the company to behave fairly.

A Massachusetts-based artist Jarrett J. Krosoczka sketched the doodle. The doodle page shows an interview with his wife Anne Burlock Lawver. The doodle remembers the addiction psychiatrist days before his death anniversary on October 5, 2018. “One way I see Herb’s visionary brilliance is through his ability for problem-solving, whether domestically or professionally. When everyone else was looking in one direction, Herb would (metaphorically) turn his head and his thinking to somewhere completely different — and come up with original, viable solutions,” The Hindu <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/news/international/google-doodle-celebratesherbert-kleber-addiction-psychologist/article29563234.ece">reported</a> citing wife Lawver. Medical condition, not a moral failure Kleber changed the world’s perception of addiction. He termed it as a medical condition, and not a moral failure. He spent over 50 years studying substance abuse and its treatment. The Pennsylvania-born American researcher kicked off his career in 1964 from a prison in Kentucky, by treating addiction patients there. Here, he realised that the prisoners would return to drug use and overdose after release. He developed an ‘evidence-based treatment’ backed by scientific research. Four years later, he founded the <a href="https://www.indiatoday.in/trending-news/story/google-doodle-celebrates-dr-herbert-kleber-for-his-pioneering-work-in-treating-drug-addiction-1605020-2019-10-01">Drug Dependence Unit</a> at the Yale University School of Psychiatry and served as the head of the unit for 20 years — after which, he was appointed as the deputy director for demand reduction at the Office of National Drug Control Policy by former US President George H. W. Bush. Kleber also co-founded the National Centre on Addiction and Substance Abuse. He studied the treatment of individuals with cocaine, alcohol and heroin addictions. He has published over 250 research papers on substance abuse and addiction treatment.

Google Doodle celebrates the life of Dr Herbert Kleber — who changed the perception of drug addiction

<ul class="summary-list"><li>At age 22, DeAndre Brown quit his job in corporate <keyword id="11903585" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="banking" source="Orion">banking</keyword> to pursue his dreams. </li><li>He currently runs a <keyword id="11894125" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tiktok" source="Orion">TikTok</keyword> account full time and hopes to build a career in television. </li></ul>This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with DeAndre Brown, and it has been edited for length and clarity.I recently celebrated my 23rd birthday, and looking back on the past year, I can see that my life has changed significantly. At age 22, I was the youngest person on my team at my job in consumer banking, earning a six-figure salary. [Editor's note: Insider was unable to independently verify Brown's former salary.]In August 2021, I decided to make a <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@imdrebrown?lang=en">TikTok account</a> where I could <a href="https://www.insider.com/deandre-brown-tiktok-gen-z-millennials-workplace-stereotypes-2022-4">talk about my experiences</a> in the industry, and help other young <keyword id="11985997" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="people" source="Orion">people</keyword> looking to enter the corporate world. I called myself "the corporate baddie" on TikTok, and <a href="https://www.insider.com/deandre-brown-tiktok-gen-z-millennials-workplace-stereotypes-2022-4">posted comedic videos comparing how millennial and Gen-Z individuals operate in the workplace</a>. I now have 579,000 followers on the app. Over time, I noticed I was making good money through brand deals and partnerships, and it became more difficult to balance time spent at work with content creation. On top of this, I felt that some people I worked with did not appreciate the fact that I was making content about corporate life, and talking about my job on social media. When I started to feel like I wasn't being appreciated, I put in my two weeks notice and left my job at the beginning of May. I've been working full-time as a corporate <keyword id="11985408" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="influencer" source="Orion">influencer</keyword> ever since, and hope it will help me pursue my dreams of being on television. Though it was a difficult decision, the leap of faith has taught me so much about what it takes to pursue my dreams. Here are some of the biggest lessons I learned about pivoting from a steady job to an entrepreneurial role as an influencer. <h2>Hiring someone to help manage my finances gave me more confidence to deal with a lack of consistent income</h2>One thing I learned from juggling my job in banking with my TikTok platform is that content creation can be extremely lucrative. There were certain points where I was making my entire annual salary in a single month through brand partnerships as an influencer. [Editor's note: Insider was unable to independently verify Brown's current income.] I got to a point where I thought that if I wanted to quit my job, I'd still be able to sustain a good living for myself. However, I also decided to hire a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wealth-building-advice-financial-help-for-millennials-gen-z-erdmann-2021-9?r=US&amp;IR=T">wealth manager</a> who could advise me on how to save and what to invest in, and I would recommend that anyone else looking to make money from content creation does the same. Profit from content creation might be really great during one month, but who's to say that the next few months are going to go as well? My wealth manager prepares and advises me for those low points where fewer brands are reaching out and it's harder to get by. <h2>Listening to motivational podcasts also helped me overcome the fear of uncertainty </h2>The lack of stability that comes with being an influencer has been the most difficult challenge I've faced since leaving my job.Not having any certainty about what's to come is scary, and it's probably my biggest fear in life. Things can be going so well for your platform one minute, but anything could go wrong, and people could stop watching your content.I'm a very religious person, so I believe in walking by faith and not by sight, trusting that things will work out. Even aside from religion, though, I still think it's important to trust that hard work and consistency will pay off, even if it doesn't happen right away. Listening to motivational podcasts is what helps me on difficult days when I doubt myself. <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-inspiration-the-steve-harvey-morning-show/id1405629617">Steve Harvey</a> is one of my favorite podcast hosts, and in general, I feel like hearing other people talk about their success stories in podcasts is a great push that helps put me back on track mentally. <h2>Strict scheduling is key to maintaining a work-life balance</h2>One of the best things about quitting my job is not having to work long office hours. Now that I'm self-employed, I can do what I want, when I want, but there can also be major drawbacks to this when it comes to making sure I'm on top of my workload. Since I'm not working in an office job, there's no supervisor looking over me to make sure I'm on track. Instead, I've had to learn how to manage my own time and plan out a thorough schedule for myself using my Google Calendar. I usually try to write my schedule out a week or so in advance, making sure to allow myself time for leisure and things I enjoy doing, as well as for meetings and work.For example, every day, I schedule time out to walk my dog and go to the gym in the morning, and I've prioritized planning to start my day with activities that get pumped up, so I'm not tempted to lie in all morning. <h2>Some people have less respect for me now, but I know I've done the right thing </h2>When I was still working in banking and would introduce myself to new people, they would always say they were impressed by the fact that I had such a good job at a very young age. Now, when I introduce myself to people as a content creator, I feel like they generally have less respect for me. However, I tend to not let that bother me because I know that I'm still able to make really good money as an influencer, and I still get to sit in the same rooms with important people, as I develop relationships with brands and businesses in the corporate world who want to work with me. I think my niche, as a content creator who helps connect young people to the finance world, has helped me find success as I can help brands speak to younger audiences.I know that I'm not going to be a full-time influencer forever, and I hope to work in television one day, but I'm excited about where the next few years and months will take me. <a href="https://www.insider.com/culture">For more stories like this, check out coverage from Insider's Digital Culture team here.</a>
