YAHOO! and Google

YAHOO!:- Yahoo! (spelled with an exclamation mark) is short for "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle". This odd and rather long name was coined in 1994 by two electrical engineering Ph.D candidates at Stanford University: David Filo and Jerry young. The Yahoo! domain was created on January 18, 1995. The term "hierarchical" described how the Yahoo! database was arranged in directory layers. The term "oracle" was intended to mean "source of truth and wisdom". And "officious" described the many office workers who would use the Yahoo! database while surfing from work. Google:- The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of the word “googol” which refers to the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were students at Stanford University. .Com:- A ".com" web address does not mean "communication". And no, it does not mean "computer" either. Interestingly enough, .com describes that a web site has some kind of "commercial" intent.
