Welcome to Google, no actually it is Googol, nevermind Google is fine.

Some interesting ‘did you know‘ facts about Google:
- Brin and Sergy didn’t know HTML when they started Google
- Google is a misspelling of the intended name, Googol
These tibits from Marissa Mayer a product manager at Google. I guess the fact that Google’s interface is so simple stems from the lack of HTML knowledge. Want to work there? Toss around ideas like Ajax and Ruby on Rails, and you better have a PhD from MIT or IIT. [via]
