September 15th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

The domain google.com was registered on September 15, 1997. Originally the company used a Stanford website with the domain google.stanford.edu. Google, Inc. was formally incorporated on Sept. 7, 1998, at a friend’s garage in Menlo Park, CA. See some interviews about Google as the company turns 10….

How did Google surpass Microsoft as the world’s most visited Web site? You can watch a few Charlie Rose interviews, or you can just Google the entire question.

Charlie Rose:

Watch a discussion about Google and emerging technology with Ken Auletta of The New Yorker. Originally aired 1/23/2008.

Watch an interview with Google CEO Eric Schmidt who discusses current innovations in technology and its projected impact over the next few years. Originally aired 4/13/2006.
