Here are some unusual and gimmick facts about Google…..just sail on it..now!!
1. Do you know that the name “Google” is a typo? Initially the founders of the site thought that they were going for “Googol”.
2. Are you aware of the fact why Google page is so simple? Its because the founders really didn’t know about HTML and so they wanted a quick interface.
3. Co-founders of Google.com, Mr. Larry Page and Mr. Sergey Brin started Google as a research project when they were 24 and 23 years respectively. Isn’t is very encouraging?

8. What are Google’s logos, which appear in Google’s Homepage, called? It’s known as “Google Doodle”.
9. Most of us have heard about Google Earth but is there anyone who has heard about Google Moon and Google Mars? I think not really; the former site maps the lunar surface and the latter provides both the visible and infrared imagery view and shaded view.

Some of your things seemed to be at variance with some of my data. Is Google handling 200 milion queries per day. Our data suggest about one bilion as of March 1, 07. Also, Google may have as many as 15 billion documents indexed with about 13 billion searchable. Keyhole was acquired, integrated, and deployed in less than nine months, derailing one of Microsoft’s mapping projects.
