where did they come up with the name google
Google Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site.[12][13][14] Eventually, they changed the name to Google; the name of the search engine originated from a misspelling of the word "googol",[15][16] the number 1 followed by 100 zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine was intended to provide large quantities of information.[17] Originally, Google ran under Stanford University's website, with the domains google.stanford.edu [18]and z.stanford.edu.[19]
Google Dictionary It was believed that, until August 2010, Google used many definitions from Collins COBUILD.[1] COBUILD entries were easy to recognize by their characteristic full-sentence definitions as well as grammar codes such as [N-VAR], which in Google Dictionary went unexplained. In August 2010, a blog site reported that Google Dictionary switched from the Collins COBUILD Advanced Learner's English Dictionary to the Oxford Pocket Dictionary of Current English as its English definitions provider.[2] This report, although close, was not quite accurate, as in fact the content now came from another Oxford dictionary, the Oxford American College Dictionary.[3]
Oh Henry! According to Nestle's site, Oh Henry! was originally named after a boy who frequented the Williamson company, flirting with the girls who made the candy.[1]
