根据Google的网址: 今天的" Google ",可以被用来作为名词,动词,形容词。
“Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google’s use of the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.”
In hindsight, I’d say they were dreaming of more than infinite amounts of information. More like infinite amounts of $$$$$$$.
Fast forward to 2007, Google holds the largest search market share - used by millions of people every day in more than 80 languages. Pretty good considering the company incorporated in 1998 with just four employees.
