Does anybody know, if Stanford (still) profits from Google? Do they get something, money, credits, patents?

And I can't wait to see the 10year website from Google.

not only you... ;)

hmm, Nice find Philip

It is good to see that Google is ruling and so do you in the world of Google Bloggers! I sometimes wonder, how you get all these information...I think I'll need to search to find out your secret of Google related information....:))

One of the links from his homepage links to his Dad, Michael Brin, a Maths (Math) teacher at University of Maryland. http://www.math.umd.edu/~mib/

I also like the comment "~25 million pages (soon to be much bigger)" – how right they were...

Corsin I think the PageRank patent is in the name of Stanford University.

Thanks... please see the "via" line to every post... it wouldn't be humanly possible for any single person to find so much infos, so Google Blogoscoped is relying on the community for tips!

I asked Google Press support, and they tell me "I think this is a better question for Stanford."

the first google site with a "Advertise with Us" link:

Some time ago, I read an interesting article here
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n02/lanc01_.html
that states that apparently "The patent for PageRank, incidentally, is owned by Stanford University. Google have exclusive use of it until 2011."!!

I don't know if it's true or not; but if it is, it's not a very well known fact about Google! This might help answer the question above about whether Stanford still profit from this company.
