John Battelle is talking about the birth of Google at Wired, “It began with an argument. When he first met Larry Page in the summer of 1995, Sergey Brin was a second-year grad student in the computer science department at Stanford University”

In March 1996, Page pointed his crawler at just one page – his homepage at Stanford – and let it loose. The crawler worked outward from there.

An amazing story of a company that become one of the major actors in internet nowadays. Its good to read it if you don’t have an idea about how google was created.
