Yahoo never achieved the status of a verb as Google did, thanks to the meeting of 25-year-old Stanford PhD students Sergey Brin and Larry Page. They had developed an internet search engine under the company name Google, believing it surpassed competitors like Yahoo and Excite. Their breakthrough came when an investor, impressed with their technology, wrote them a check for $100,000 on the spot. Despite skepticism in the market, their company quickly grew in value to $10 million, and they celebrated their success with a trip to Burger King. This marked the beginning of Google's journey to revolutionize internet search and become a household name worldwide.
