Have yall met Sergey Brin? Co-founder of Google.

Sergey Brin
Sergey Mikhaylovich Brin (Russian: Серге́й Миха́йлович Брин) born August 21, 1973 in Moscow Russia is a Russian American computer scientist and industrialist who, along with Larry Page, is best known as the co-founder of Google, Inc., founded in March 1996 which started out as a research project between the two students at Standford while working on the Standford Digital Library Project (SDLP) . Google is the world’s largest Internet company, based on its search engine and online advertising technology. If you didn't already know.

Sergey’s research interests include search engines, information extraction from unstructured sources, and data mining of large text collections and scientific data. He has published more than a dozen academic papers, including Extracting Patterns and Relations from the World Wide Web; Dynamic Data Mining: A New Architecture for Data with High Dimensionality, which he published with Larry Page; Scalable Techniques for Mining Casual Structures; Dynamic Itemset Counting and Implication Rules for Market Basket Data; andBeyond Market Baskets: Generalizing Association Rules to Correlations.

Over the course of the past decade, Google has become quite well known for its corporate culture and innovative, clean products, and has had a major impact on online culture. In July 2006, the verb, "to google", was officially added to both the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary as well as the Oxford English Dictionary, meaning, "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet.".

And that's how you know you've made it big, making into the dictionary. Thumbs up.
