Congratulations Google!
It’s been 10 years since Google saw the light. I’m not going to write a big post about this, but go and checkmout the cool timeline that they have created.
To start with, Larry and Sergey (the founders) was calling their search engine BackRub, but they decided it needed a new name. 15. september 1998 they registered the domain Google.com.
Larry and Sergey decide that the BackRub search engine needs a new name. After some brainstorming, they go with Google – a play on the word “googol,” a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. The use of the term reflects their mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.
If we take a look at the Google homepage back in 1998 it looks kinda similar to todays version. heh.
In my daily internet use, I do use a lot of Google products. What product from Google exept the search and gmail do you use, and like the most?

A good example of how the interface manners and not the design
Google has become one of the best built websites in the world with almost the same design.

It’s scary how much I use Google actually. They handle my mail (Gmail). I advertise with them (Adwords) and they pay my bills (adsense). They also keep track of my visitors (analytics) and if that wasn’t enough I use them to search as well.
To answer my own question regarding the service that I like the most I think it got to be analytics. It’s just brilliant, and If they can integrate it with adsense it will become even better.
