How Google was named Google

Fri, 07 Jul 2006 12:00:00 +0000

5 different stories about how Google was named Google. This is mentioned as the probably correct version:

“Lucas Pereira: ‘You idiots, you spelled [Googol] wrong!’ But this was good, because google.com was available and googol.com was not. Now most people spell ‘Googol’ ‘Google’, so it worked out OK in the end.”
