Ask any internet user 'what is google' and he will say that it is a search engine. Ask him' what do you know more about google', and he might say it is the fastest search engine and google offers a lot of services like gmail, orkut and so on...
That is the popularity google has got today. With over a billion visitors daily, google.com is one of the websites visited by almost all the internet users.
But the word google means something else. Actually it is not supposed to be spelled g-o-o-g-l-e. Instead the right spelling is g-o-o-g-o-l. But when Brin and Page, the makers of Google, were renaming BackRub ( the initial name of google ) they misspelled googol as google.
Googol means a very large number. To be precise it is 1 followed by a 100 zeros.
They chose this name as google was basically to deal with a large amount of information online.
