google is top brand in world
Google was few days ago named the world?s top brand ? less than ten year after it was founded. The internet search engine topped a survey by Millward Brown. Google, valued at ?33 billion, beat last year?s winner Microsoft and Coke.
Anyway! Today I have discovered that the internet search engine Google was named after the number GOOGOL (1 followed by one hundred zeros) by Larry Page, one of the founders, because was fascinated with mathematics and “Googol”.
Another curious thing is the name from its headquarters, in Mountain View, California, that is referred as ?the Googolplex? (in mathematics a googolplex is 1 followed by a googol of zeros).
What a geeks!!

leo en el blog de Jos? Esteves…
Google es la marca m?s cara del mundo, con el precio de 49 mil millones de euros, seg?n un estudio de mercado Millward Brown y elFinancial Times.
En el conjunto de las 10 marcas m?s caras - Google, Microsoft, China Mobile, Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Citi, IBM, Toyota, McDonald’s e Bank of Am?rica, 5 de ellas son de tecnologias de informaci?n. Demuestra esto que las TI cada dia tienen m?s influencia en el mundo?
