Google needs no introduction as it holds 90% of the search engine market on the desktop, and if we talk about mobile phones, Google dominates it completely. Google is the default search engine for most smartphones, apart from Apple. Sergey Brin and Larry Page founded Google on September 27, 2020. As Google is now 22 years old, the US site has recently listed five significant achievements made by Google, and in this article, we will mention those five achievements:

Google Search

Google Search is a web search engine which is the most favored and extensively used search engine across all platforms. Google search handles more than 5.4 billion searches each day.

Google Doodle

A Google Doodle is a momentary modification of Google’s homepage logo to address certain events, holidays, achievements, and more. The first Google Doodle was founded by Larry Page and Serge Brin in 1998 to honor the long-running annual Burning Man event in Black Rock City, Nevada. Primarily, Doodles were just simple images with hover text expressing a greeting. Over a while, Doodles increased in numbers and complexities. The first animated Doodle honored Sir Isaac Newton in January 2010. Soon, the hyperlinks have also been added to Doodles.

Google Adwords/Google Ads

Google Ads is an online advertising platform developed by Google in 2000. Google Ads enable advertisers to display ads, display service offerings, and more. With Google Ads, you can place ads on the search engine results of Google and non-search websites as well. Google Ads earns around 86% of its total revenue from ads and ads related tools.

Gmail

Gmail is free of cost email service developed by Google in 2004. By October 2018, Gmail’s user base reached 1.5 billion. In 2020, Gmail owns around 43% share of the email industry. Originally, Gmail was launched as a beta version on April 1, 2004, and completed its testing period on July 7, 2009. Initially, Gmail was launched with one GB of storage space which increases significantly over a while. On April 24, 2012, Google expanded the storage space to 10 GB as a part of the launch of Google Drive. Over some time, Gmail has evolved exponentially in terms of interface and storage space.

Google Maps

Google Maps is a web-mapping service developed by Google in 2005. Google Maps gives you real-time traffic reports, route planning for different modes of traveling like by foot, car, bicycle, and public transportation. Google Maps has been used by more than one billion people monthly. Google Maps satellite view is a bird-eye view which gives you the high-resolution images of the cities. Most of the satellite images are three years old, and they are updated regularly. In February 2020, Maps received a new brand icon on the occasion of its 15th-anniversary. On September 23, 2020, Google published a COVID-19 Zone update for Google Maps and a label showing the rise and fall in the number of COVID cases.
