Eh, yeah, back then they were. The reason for their simple homepage is because Sergey Brin hated HTML.

I wonder if they were planning to be this big? What is google programmed/coded in?

compuXP · 12-26-2005, 11:46 PM

Google's servers use a highly configured and customized version of Linux... Redhat I think?

It's coded in C or C++, that much is for sure.

wow, such big difference, look at it now and look how it was before. GOOGLE's gone wild.

So, seeing how far google has come in seven-ish years, where do you think it'll be in seven more years, way out in 2012?

They were so simple back then, now they have improved a lot and taking over everything

You can really tell the difference. I think that Google made a real impact on the internet, it's simply amazing. I can't wait to see what else they come up with.

I remember when I first heard about Google. I was a die-hard Alta Vista search user for a while, and people started rumbling about google. First of all when I saw it, it was weird because all the searches and portals at the time were spammy overdone messes, so it was a shock to the system to see google.

The first reaction was, how can a site with so little on it exist and make money? Over time though Google started winning out with superior results, and the clean interface was a huge plus, at least for me. When I wanted to search I wanted to search and I did not want to have my eyes refocus 5 times as it looked through news spam and all the other stuff that people were displaying on their pages back then.
