We all know the success story of google, two college students starting it as a project which today rules the internet. However not many would know how google's web page used to appear previously .
The first thing to catch anyone's eye is the fact that google boosted of indexing ~25 million pages. Last heard, this number had risen to some billion pages

Another insight, when google was still a Stanford research project, it was nicknamed BackRub. It was called so because google implied a technology that checked backlinks to determine a site's importance and hence the name

The site also has a special note saying ""Google is research in progress and there are only a few of us so expect some downtimes and malfunctions." Imagine today google going down !!
Lastly, i really think google's webpage still resembles its first layout. If you remove the text part from its predecessor, it will almost come down to what google's webpage looks today (If you excuse the logos i.e. ). Simplicity .. isn't it ?
