Google was conceived by its two founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin in 1995, and as per the date of incorporation on 7th September 1998, today is the 10th anniversary of this amazing company called Google.
Some of Google's services I currently use are:
Gmail, Blogger, iGoogle, YouTube, Google News, Google Alerts, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Analytics, Google Reader, Google Groups, Orkut, Picasa Web Albums, Google Talk, and a few others.
Lets look at some of Google's timeline:
