    Boy, I wish Google were a public company, so you could find that out.... hey, wait, it is. I actually posted that information in this thread. But maybe those SEC filings are probably just flights of fancy...

    I think, we could rephrase the question:

    Who is the current CEO of Google?

    A simple Google search would have sufficed.

    Actually, that's not rephrasing the question.... that's a completely different question

    Google is a privately held company with primary financial backing
    from Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Sequoia Capital, which
    together led an equity round of $25 million in June 1999. Google also
    has benefited from several other high-profile investors, including
    Stanford University, Andy Bechtolsheim (co-founder of Sun Microsystems
    and current vice president of engineering of the Gigabit Switching
    Group at Cisco Systems),

    Google Inc. is a publicly traded company. Their stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol GOOG.Google is a play on the word googol, which was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, Mathematics and the Imagination by Kasner and James Newman. It refers to the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Google's use of the term reflects the company's mission to organize the immense, seemingly infinite amount of information available on the web.

    Wow, that's amazing! You hear in the news from time to time about some love letter or post card that arrived many decades after it was mailed. This post was obviously made before Google's IPO nearly 7 years ago. Wonder where it's been sitting all these years. Someone apparently has an extra slow internet connection.

    I would like to ask something. It is off the topic but still related to Google.

    Can anyone tell me a sort of History about Google? What is the purpose of the founders when they created Google? Im sure it has been very different by then.

    Check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Google
    It's listed on the NYSE, so I guess it's owned by shareholders nowadays.
