Larry PageRank, not Web PageRank

By mapping, among other variables, how many people click on a link, and how long they linger there, Google assigns it a value, known as PageRank, after Larry Page.

That’s from Ken Auletta’s article about Google in the New Yorker last week. Didn’t know that PageRank was named after Larry Page. (via @dens)
