I'd never really considered it before, but Google is pretty old now in internet terms. It's been around twice along as some of its fellow giants like Facebook (2004), YouTube (2005), Twitter (2006) and the like - although not nearly as long as Yahoo! (1994) and AOL (1991).
- Mahn 10y agoWhat's impressive is not that that it's one of the oldest internet companies around, but that it's still relevant today! The vast majority of large internet companies usually fade into obscurity in less than ten years as they fail to change and adapt and are replaced by whatever is new and shiny at the time; Google though, they knew they had to place bold bets beyond what's making money today, and that paid off beautifully.
