Happy 5th Birthday, Google

September 8th, 2003 by iDunzo

Five years ago, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin incorporated their tiny company.

The reason? So they could cash a $100,000 personal check that had been sitting in Page’s desk drawer for a couple of weeks.

Google 5th Birthday

As Stanford graduate students, Page and Brin had been working together on a search engine they called “BackRub” since early 1996.

By 1998, with the encouragement of Yahoo! co-founder David Filo, they decided to start a company, and went looking for investors to back them.

Google Releases MentalPlex

April 1st, 2000 by iDunzo

Unlike regular search engines that require you to type a query to conduct a search, MentalPlex search anticipates your request by evaluating over 1.3 billion variables including:

  • the last 5 sites you visited before coming to Google
  • current air pressure, humidity and ozone content
  • astrological configuration at the time of your visit
  • speed and vectors of your mouse movement
  • personal aura and brainwave activity

Using proprietary predictive search algorithms developed through 13 years of research by an international consortium of PhDs in the fields of artificial and pseudo-intelligence, parapsychology and improbability, MentalPlex is the only search engine that accurately returns results without requiring you enter a query. Google’s CEO and co-founder Larry Page calls MentalPlex “a quantum leap in finding what you are looking for on the Internet. Typing in queries is so 1999.”
