Google way back then..
If you don’t know who or what Google is, You’ve definitley been living under a rock for the past (almost) 10 years. So what i’ve discovered today, is a little site which is still in its prehistoric form.. Backrub.
Backrub was the initial name of Google, when it was a research project run out of Stanford University. Developed and designed by the now, two uncomprehensivley rich Sergey Brin and Larry Page. Since then it has come a long way, origionally running on a couple of machines on-site at Stanford, It now operates hundreds apon thousands of servers worldwide, constantly crawling the web and gathering and organising information ready for us to search.
I’ve found the origional backrub project page, which is still operational – Showing the old-school search pages, for the very young (at the time) search engine.
Check it out at: backrub.c63.be
