Google Inc. is a U.S. public corporation, first incorporated as a privately held corporation the 7 September 1998, that designs and manages the Internet's most used search engine. The company employs approximately 8,000 employees and is based in Mountain View, California. Eric Schmidt, former chief executive officer of [[Novell.com|Novell]], was named Google's CEO when co-founder Larry Page stepped down.
 
 
The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol," which refers to 10<sup>100</sup> (a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros). Google has had a major impact on online culture. The verb "google" was recently added to both the [[M-W.com|Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary]] and the [[OED.com|Oxford English Dictionary]], meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet."
 
 
Google's services are run on several server farms, each consisting of thousands of low-cost commodity computers running stripped-down versions of [[Linux.org|Linux]]. While the company does not provide detailed information about its hardware, a 2006 estimate consisted of over 450,000 servers, racked up in clusters located in data centers around the world (See Google platform for more details on their technology). According to the [[NielsenMedia.com|Nielsen]] cabinet, Google is the most popular search engine on the web with a 54% market share, ahead of [[Yahoo.com|Yahoo!]] (23%) and [[MSN.com|MSN]] (13%). It receives about a billion search requests per day, which are recorded and stored indefinitely "to improve its search engines."
