Google Timeline Interactive Edition

Google, now one of the world's most popular search engine, began as a college research project in early 1996 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two Ph.D. students at Stanford. They developed the hypothesis that a search engine based on analysis of the relationships between Web sites would produce improved results over the basic techniques then in use.





In this interactive flash movie, you see the the major events in the history of Google since 1995. The events depicted in this movie are picked from The Google Timeline. The Google logos are done by Dennis Hwang, logo designer at .

The flash movie was created using Demo Builder. Google too has an interactive 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist.

Google has evolved. On 9/21/99, the beta label came off the Google website.

On slide 10, Froogle is spelt incorrectly as Froggle.

Interesting, but it won't load for me in FireFox. I had to open IE to see what the big empty white section was there for.

Same here, doesnt work in Firefox.

There looks to be a bug in the code to prevent this from loading on Safari as well, but directly linking to the SWF works fine

Google's acquisitions of Picasa (should be only one s) and Keyhole are listed under both 2004 and 2005.

I can't get it to work, even in IE. I really want to link to this.
