any people may not know Larry Page or Sergey Brin by name, but nearly anyone with a PC and a pulse knows what they have wrought. They're the Google guys.

Brin, 29, and Page, 30, have not only devised the Web's most popular search engine, but they've inspired a new verb. Nearly everyone, including solution providers looking for technical data or maybe a company Web site, "googles." Daily. Hourly. Perhaps more often.

Richard Warren, vice president and chief solutions architect at Susquehanna Technologies, a Winchester, Va., solution provider, can't say enough about the new Google toolbar. "The pop-up blocker alone is worth the price of admission," he says.

"Now people can find you, even if your company is very small, if you do the right things on your Web site," notes Dan Bricklin, a software innovator in his own right.

Web site pros spend endless hours trying to figure out how to generate more Google hits. But the Google guys are keeping their secret close to the vest.
