 PROFILE
Frustrated by search engines that return zillions of irrelevant Web pages? Google (from the term googol, a number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros) offers a targeted search engine that indexes and ranks Web sites according to the number of links leading to that site. Google also licenses its technology to more than 100 companies, including International Data Group and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Portal giant Yahoo! also uses Google to power its search site. In addition, Google owns the Usenet newsgroup service formerly maintained by Deja.com. The company was founded in 1998 by Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Google's backers include venture capital firms Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital.
