Google, everyone’s preferred search engine, turned 23 on Monday, and the business made sure to celebrate its birthday with a doodle on its homepage.
Nonetheless, the corporation was officially established on September 4, 1998.
The Google doodle, as shown in the image above, displays a cake with the number “23” inscribed on top of it, with a birthday candle replacing the “L” in “Google.”
On September 4, 1998, Google was officially launched
Today’s doodle, as shown below, is an animated feature.
It should be emphasized, however, that Google was officially launched on September 4, 1998.
Though the company had celebrated its seventh birthday on that date for the previous seven years, it opted to move the festivities to September 27 to align with the disclosure of the search engine’s record number of pages indexed.
Doodle’s origins traced back to 1998
The doodle’s origins can be traced back to a month before Google’s founding in 1998. The inaugural Google Doodle was inspired by the long-running “Burning Man” festival in Black Rock City, Nevada.
Google, which was co-founded by Sergey Brin and Larry Page, is now the most extensively used search engine on the planet. Pichai became the CEO of Alphabet in December 2019
Sundar Pichai, who took over from Page on October 24, 2015, is the company’s current CEO. Meanwhile, Page was promoted to the very same role at Alphabet Inc. Pichai also became the CEO of Alphabet on the third of December, 2019.
Alphabet Inc. was formed on October 2, 2015, as a result of a Google reorganization, and eventually became Google’s parent company as well as the parent company of its previous subsidiaries.
