>The world's most popular site for searching the web, Google, is five years

>It is now an internet giant, used by millions of people every day in more

>The search engine site moved to its first office, actually a garage, in
>Menlo Park, California on 7 September 1998.
>Back then, Google was just four employees, its search system was still
>being refined and it was handling little more than 10,000 queries per day.
>History lesson
>Now it handles more than 200 million and Google has become a phenomenon
>that has transcended its online origins.
>It has expanded beyond just searches to encompass comparison shopping,
>news, web logs and even a service that blocks pop-up ads.
Happy birthday, oh Exalted One, oh Great Font of all knowledge.
