1 ) Remember the T - Rex game which you play when you have no internet connection ? Well the game is what it is today because it symbolises the T - Rex fossil found near Google's Head Office's premises in Mountview , California .
2 ) Google's First Ever Doodle was designed when Larry Page and Sergey Brin took the weekend off to go to the burning man festival in Nevada . The Burning Man doodle, was designed by the Google team and added to the homepage to let their users know they were out of office and couldn't fix technical issues like a server crash.
3 ) The first ever tweet by google was a binary code which when translated to text says " I'm feeling lucky " .
4 ) Biggest achievement made by Google according to me , that is making it to Oxford Dictionary as a verb was accomplished in 2006 .
5 ) Google was originally named ' BackRub ' before it was changed to ' Google ' which was a wrongly spelt ' Googol ' which is 1 × 10^100 .
6 ) Google's first storage was made up of Lego
7 ) The First Search Made on Google - In 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who were graduate students, showed Hennessy their work on search software that they later called Google. He typed in the name Gerhard Casper, and instead of getting results for Casper the Friendly Ghost, as he did on AltaVista, up popped links to Gerhard Casper the president of Stanford.
8 ) The Unofficial Google Slogan was ' Don't be Evil ' - Journalists have raised questions about the actual definition of what Google considered "evil". On the user-facing 'What We Believe' page, Google appeared to replace the original motto altogether (a carefully reworded version stood as of 10 April 2015, "You can make money without doing evil",which varied significantly from the absolute imperative of DON'T be evil). As of 2017, the motto is still cited in the preface to Google's Code of Conduct.
9 ) Google became to World's largest Search Engine on June 2000
10 ) Google's site traffic doubled when it introduced ' Did you Mean '
