Garage Where It All Started

Here is the garage where it all started for Google just eight years ago. Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin rented it for five months after getting their first round of funding. Google recently bought the Menlo Park, Silicon Valley, property but has not decided what to do with it. Turn it into a museum, perhaps. Tour buses are already driving by. As for Page and Brin, they have traded up. Google may use the home as a guest house, but nothing definitive has been worked out. "We plan to preserve the property as a part of our living legacy," said Google spokesman Jon Murchinson. Search Engine Room: December 6, 2007
