What and how different was Google compared to other search engine that enabled it to dominate the other search engines?
In: Technology
I first heard about Google in 1999. Microsoft was a hated company back then and someone told me about this new search engine that uses an algorithm called “pagerank” that does not only indexes text in pages but also indexes links from other pages so that when you search for “the root of all evil”, it returns “Microsoft” as the first result.
No other search engine could do this at the time. I was hooked since day one.
