That&#8217;s a lot of searching! But what is it about the search engine giant that isn&#8217;t so clear on the surface? We put together a snazzy infographic to give you some facts about Google you may have otherwise never known..<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">#1<\/span><\/strong> Back in 1996 Google used to be called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/company\/history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Backrub<\/a>. Yep, you heard it right..Backrub. It originally operated on Stanford servers, but eventually took up too much bandwith. Google bought the domain to rename themselves from Backrub to Google on September 15th, 1997.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">#2<\/span><\/strong> Google plans to scan all known 129 million unique books\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/202803\/google_129_million_different_books_have_been_published.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before 2020<\/a>. Can you even begin to imagine what 129 million books would look like?!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#3\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Google <a href=\"http:\/\/investor.google.com\/corporate\/code-of-conduct.html#toc-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prefers dogs<\/a> to cats. Yup, their company code of conduct actually states that Google are a dog company, even though they do actually like cats. Me-ow.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#4\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The domain name <a href=\"http:\/\/whois.domaintools.com\/googlesucks.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;GoogleSucks.com&#8217;<\/a> is owned by Google themselves alongside 16,203 other domains. But can you blame them? It&#8217;s best they get in there first, before all those internet trolls do!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#5\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>16% of searches done on Google everyday are ones that they have <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/adwords\/answer\/2471185\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">never<\/a> seen before. I&#8217;m not even going to try to picture what some of these searches could be.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#6\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Google <a href=\"http:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2014\/10\/09\/travel\/google-street-view-camel\/index.html?hpt=hp_c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hired a camel<\/a>\u00a0to create the street view of a desert, which makes sense really. I just feel sorry for the poor guy who had to walk around\u00a0with it all that way.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#7 <\/strong><\/span>Microsoft <a href=\"http:\/\/www.groovypost.com\/howto\/reviews\/bing-rewards-you-to-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pays you<\/a> to use Bing instead of Google..With bing rewards! This feature, however, is not yet available in the UK. *sad face*<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#8\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Google&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2010\/06\/19\/10-google-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first tweet<\/a> was &#8216;I&#8217;m feeling lucky&#8217; written in Binary Code. The tweet was sent in February 2009, and for all you arguably geeky computer whizzes out there..<strong> &#8220;I&#8217;m 01100110 01100101 01100101 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101011 01111001 00001010.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>#9<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Google is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alexa.com\/siteinfo\/google.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most visited<\/a> website in the world.

The founders accidentally misspelled &#8216;googol&#8217; which refers to the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. I&#8217;m kinda glad really, I&#8217;m not quite sure they would have had as much relevant traffic with a domain name like &#8216;Backrub&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got a question?
