Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who as Stanford graduate students successfully created the Google search engine, have been named the 2004 Fellows of the Marconi Foundation at Columbia University. In announcing their selection, John Jay Iselin, the Foundation's president, congratulated the two men for their invention that has fundamentally changed the way information is retrieved today.
The two award winners will join a select cadre of 32 of the world's most influential communications technology pioneers who since 1975 have been awarded the honor named for Guglielmo Marconi, 1909 recipient of the Nobel Prize for pioneering wireless transmissions.
Tim Berners-Lee, 2002 Marconi Fellowship recipient, said, "Google held a mirror up to us, reflecting the myriad little actions of linking as a set of concepts which society has discussed and sought."
"Sergey Brin and Larry Page developed the Google search engine to better organize unprecedented amounts of information, efficiently respond to hundreds of millions of daily online queries, instantaneously return relevant results and reach users from around the world. These two talented men have brought a sense of order to the enormous scale of the World Wide Web," according to Guglielmo Marconi's grandson and Foundation chairman, Francesco Paresce Marconi.

They deserve this. In fact, they deserve much more than this. They redifned the way of data mining. All the future generations will remember them. Google has secured its place in history.
