This is a timeline of Google's company milestones and impressive growth. 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.

For the top and go! What would be the Internet without Google?

It might be fun to make a timeline with future events for Google -- imagining Google in 2020, and if it is 1) microsoft, 2) still trying to do no evil, or... 3) sentient.
