Today is National Google.com Day

In the annals of internet history, the story of Google is nothing short of legendary. It all began in January 1996 when two bright minds, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were pursuing their Ph.D. degrees at Stanford University. They embarked on a quest to revolutionize web search, and their weapon of choice was an algorithm known as PageRank. This clever system analyzed website relationships, determining their relevance based on links to other sites.

Initially, their search engine went by the quirky name “BackRub,” but it soon evolved into “Google.” This name was inspired by “googol,” which represents a 1 followed by 100 zeros, symbolizing the limitless information available on the internet.

On September 15, 1997, Page and Brin registered the domain “google.com,” marking the official birth of Google. As they secured funding from investors, the duo formally incorporated their enterprise in a humble space connected to a friend’s garage in Menlo Park, California.

By December 1999, Google was already answering around 10,000 search queries each day during its beta phase. In 2003, the company moved its headquarters to the now-famous Googleplex in Mountain View, California. The campus’s unique open-concept workspace featured unconventional seating arrangements, with exercise balls serving as chairs.

In 2006, Merriam-Webster recognized “Google” as a verb, signifying the act of using the Google search engine to find information online. Over the years, Google expanded its horizons and services, ultimately leading to the formation of Alphabet Inc. in 2015, with Google as its prominent subsidiary.

And so, Google’s journey from BackRub to global internet dominance is a testament to the power of innovation and determination in the digital age.

Should You Start Dating Right After a Break-up?

Let’s dive into this age-old question, almost as classic as the debate over wearing white after Labor Day. How long should you wait before jumping back into the dating scene after a breakup? Well, it’s a bit like reality TV drama – full of twists and turns.

A recent poll of 30,000 people tried to shed some light on this dating dilemma. Surprise, surprise, a whopping 72% of respondents said, “Hold your horses, take a breather, and don’t rush into dating right away.”

But hey, there are always those adventurous 9% who are all for diving straight back in, and 18% who are probably just as confused as we are about reality TV plot twists.

Here’s an interesting tidbit: men seem to be the risk-takers here, as they’re twice as likely as women to advocate for an immediate return to the dating game. But guess what? The older you are, the more likely you are to say, “Let’s wait a while and heal.”

Now, the million-dollar question: do these whirlwind romances that start pronto tend to be more successful than the ones you just left behind? Well, only 10% of us believe that, but they might just be the perfect distraction to help you forget about your ex.

So, there you have it, folks. The dating waiting game is like a reality TV show – unpredictable, entertaining, and sometimes, a bit dirty in thought. Remember, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Find what works for you, and as we like to say on our comedy morning radio show, keep poking fun at life’s little twists and turns!

Signs You Might Not Be Ready to be Friends with Your Ex

Considering the future relationship with you ex? Here are four signs that indicate you might not be ready to be friends with your ex just yet:
 
1. You’re still in love with them. If your heartstrings are still tightly attached to your ex romantically, transitioning into a platonic friendship can be challenging. It might be something to consider down the road, but not today.
 
2. You’re still sexually active with them. Being friends typically means no longer having a romantic or sexual connection. Continuing in that way can complicate matters and make it harder to move on in the long run.
 
3. You want to get back together. If the hidden agenda is to rekindle the relationship, it’s crucial to pause and reflect. Remember, you broke up for a reason, and pursuing friendship with ulterior motives can lead to disappointment.
 
4. You’re pursuing friendship out of guilt or insecurity. If feelings of guilt or fear of being alone are driving your desire to be friends with your ex, it may not be the healthiest basis for a friendship. A genuine liking and desire for their presence in your life should be the driving force.
 
In the world of exes and friendships, timing and intentions matter, so consider these signs before taking the friendship plunge.
