Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.
Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed a new approach to online search that took root in a Stanford University dorm room and quickly spread to information seekers around the globe.
I'm Larry Page
Lawrence E. Page, more commonly known as Larry Page (born March 26, 1973 in Ann Arbor, Michigan) is one of the founders of the Google internet search engine and is currently the President of Products of Google Inc. Larry Page is a graduate of East Lansing High School. Page had a Bachelor of Science degree in computer engineering from the University of Michigan with honors and a Masters degree from Stanford University. Larry Page is the son of Carl Vincent Page, a professor of computer science at Michigan State University and Gloria Page, a computer programming teacher.
While a student in the Ph.D. program in computer science at Stanford University, Page met Sergey Brin. Together they developed and ran the Google search engine, which began operating in 1998. Google is based on patented PageRank technology, which relies on the structure of links between web sites to determine the ranking of an individual site. Page is still "on leave" from the Ph.D. program.
Page ran Google as co-president with Brin until 2001, when they hired Eric Schmidt to become Chairman and CEO of Google. Page now runs Google as a triumvirate along with Brin and Schmidt.
Page and co-founder Sergey Brin are estimated to be worth $11 billion apiece. The two have recently purchased a very large passenger plane, a Boeing 767, for their private use.
And I'm Sergey Brin
Sergey Mihailovich Brin (Russian: ?????? ?????????? ????) (born August 1973 in Moscow, Russia) is an American entrepreneur. Born in Russia, Brin studied computer science and mathematics before co-founding Google with Larry Page. Brin is the President of Technology at Google and has a net worth estimated at 11 billion U.S. dollars.
As of 2005 Brin and Page are estimated to be worth USD$11 billion apiece and are sixteenth in Forbes 400 list and ranked the 2nd richest Americans under the age of 40, after Pierre Omidyar, founder of Ebay. He also is the world's youngest self-made billionaire along with Larry Page and Bill Gates.
Despite his success, Sergey has remained relatively unknown to the public eye. He is not known to be lavish with his wealth and drives an inexpensive car � the Toyota Prius. According to his father, Sergey still rents a two-bedroom flat.
Sergey has various hobbies outside of his working duties. He is an avid gymnast and has taken trapeze lessons. Like many other Google executives, Sergey often commutes about work on roller skates and plays roller hockey during breaks. Keeping strong ties with his cultural heritage, Sergey often dines in San Francisco's many Russian restaurants
