Below are 16 facts I bet you did not know about Google even as an internet surfer.



1. Google was initially called "Backrub"



2. 2 million searches are performed on Google every minute.



3. In 1999, the founders of Google begged to sell Google to a company called Excite for just US$1 million. Excite turned them down.

7. Microsoft pays for you to use Bing instead of Google.



8. Google hired a camel to create the Street View of a desert.



9. The "I'm feeling lucky" button costs Google US$110 million every year, becuase it bypasses all ads.



10. Google's First Computer Storage Was Made From LEGO.



11. Because Gmail was first launched on April 1st of 2004, many people thought it was an April Fools' Day prank. (Smiles)



12. Google earns US$20 billion a year from advertisement, more than the primetime revenues of CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX combined.

Your research is stale, this is the reason I'm careful with this frontpage because it feeds alot of people rubbish sometimes. Google made over $50bn in 2012, Facebook is already earning over $20bn annually.

How does Microsoft pay for us to use Bing instead of google.

MS does not really pay users to use Bing instead of Google, they simply pay you for using Bing. You can still use Google if you like. Check out the link below to see how you can get paid for using Bing via Bing Rewards. They actually don't give cash but credits for your searches which you can redeem for whatever you desire on the list under the redeem tab.

https://www.bing.com/rewards

I use my credits for Sykpe minutes - best reward ever! grin tongue grin

Google and her two founders remain a huge inspiration to solutions driven initiators the world over.

The story around Google's success motivated me into incorporating PISL two years ago.

Today, through strategic foreign partnership, PISL offers the world most effective Zero-energy Indoor Cooling technology.

We cool indoors and shelters without electricity and airconditioners, thereby helping businesses recover substantial energy costs and to prevent millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. We also restore old degraded roofing of buildings, hence eliminating associated huge re-roofing costs.

Wow! I just tried the askew search and I got a skewed result page!

Alright, let me add just one more fact about Google.

Many people, most especially in Nigeria, do not pronounce Google correctly.

They normally pronounce it as Goggle which is wrong.

Check it out if you think I'm not correct.

Is this calculation true? We have 7.8b people in the world. 2b go to Google daily. That means every 1 off 4 people go on Google. I am not willing to accept tha calculation.
