Google: The IT Iconoclast
When Google began as a student project at Stanford, it was founded on the firm belief that whoever harnessed search would ultimately dominate the Internet. Just two years later, the Internet was already morphing into a phenomenon, growing from a few hundred pages into tens of thousands of web sites and millions of pages, creating the need for search engines that are fast, intuitive and accurate. Existing search engines were more portal-like in character, with search being just one of their features, leaving users disillusioned with their search results. Google, originally called BackRub, reinvented search by using an algorithm that ranked pages by quality (named PageRank after one of its founders, Larry Page), which makes searches highly relevant. The algorithm derives a probability match of a page to a user query by correlating the number of links towards a page and their relevance.
