Comparing Sergy Brin And Larry Page

Have you ever searched for something on the internet? If so, you have probably used Google to find what you need. This could not have happened without the ideas of two college students from Stanford. For most people, they dream of striking it rich by doing what they love. But for Sergy Brin and Larry Page they made this dream a reality. The two friends met each other for the first time at Stanford University. Sergy, a freshman at the University, worked as a tour guide. On a tour, he met Larry and they got to know each other quickly through arguments of various topics. They mostly argued about Stanford’s web program, but they also argued about random subjects just to keep the arguments going. Later in the year Larry Page decided to attend Stanford,

To set BackRub apart from everyone else Sergy and Larry had designed a ranking system. To set up this ranking system they had to do a lot of math. Luckily Sergy was a math prodigy and he knew what to do and how to do it. Their solution to a ranking system was that the amount of pages that had a link to a certain page would be ranked higher than a page that only had a couple pages linked to it. For example, Amazon has thousands of links to it, while a small blog may only have a small amount of links to it. This would rank Amazon higher than the blog. Once they had installed this new ranking system they did not realize how big of a step ahead of everyone else that they had taken. On all of the other search engines, they only looked for text. They had never considered a page rank. This means that they would come up with results that were irrelevant to the search. With the ranking system in place BackRub actually would work better with more and more links on it. At this point one of the professors at Stanford advised Larry that they should come up with a new and official name for their search engine. They decided to name their engine Googol, which is a part of the number system. Googol is a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. They named it this as a reference to the amount of links they had were endless. No one is sure how it happened, but their name got accidentally switched to Google instead of Googol. Sergy and Brin

At the rate that Google was growing they needed to get more computer resources, but there was no more room in the labs that they had been using. Sergy and Larry went around the university and tried to find scraps of computers to use. When they got everything they needed, they used Larry’s dorm room as a lab. Once they filled that room with equipment, they turned to Sergy’s dorm room. They turned his room into an office and a programing center. This didn’t last very long. Google had grown so much that it consumed over half of Stanford’s internet, Their professors quickly told them that they have to leave Stanford when Google crashed Stanford’s entire internet. Sergy and Larry had a choice. They could either leave college and hope to grow google into a company or shut the whole thing down and stay at college. This became a huge problem with Larry. His father had recently passed away and he knew that his father had really wanted him to complete school. After a lot of discussion and contemplation his head professor convinced him to leave college and stay with Google. He said that if in the end Google didn’t end up working out, that he could always come back and complete college. Sergy and Larry left Stanford and moved their stuff into a friend of theirs garage. A few days after they moved into the garage Andy Bechtolsheim wrote a check to Google.inc for one hundred thousand
