If founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have anything to say, it's what elementary grade Google the company has achieved so far in just under two years. "If Google were a person, the company would have been close to finishing the first grade at the time of the IPO" -- this was a quote both co-founders wrote to shareholders in 2004 as the GOOG was listed as a public company and started trading.<br /><br />So, what grade has Google completed two years later in 2006? Has Google graduated the sixth grade or is it just starting high school? With the search market lead the company has built up -- based on a superior product, unobtrusive advertising and very relevant results -- Google shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, it may graduate high school early and head to college studies soon.<br /><br /><br /><font size="+0"><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"><em></em></font><em></em></font><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2006/08/17/google-about-to-celebrate-second-public-birthday/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Google about to celebrate second public birthday</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2006/08/17/google-about-to-celebrate-second-public-birthday/">Google about to celebrate second public birthday</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Thu, 17 Aug 2006 11:45:00 EST.
