Search engine giant Google turned 25 on Wednesday.
Marking the special occasion, the company unveiled a special doodle on its homepage. The doodle shows all the previous logos of the company and ends with the letters oo replaced by 25 in the word Google. Googlewas founded byLarry PageandSergey Brinin September 1998, as part of a PhD project. The two ideated the firm in 1995. By 1996, they had reportedly built a search engine, initially called 'BackRub', that used links to determine the importance of individual web pages. Much has changed since 1998 including our logo as seen in todays Doodle but the mission has remained the same: to organize the worlds information and make it universally accessible and useful. Billions of people from all over the globe use Google to search, connect, work, play, and SO much more! Thank you for evolving with us over the past 25 years. We cant wait to see where the future takes us, together, the Google Doodle blog stated. Interestingly,Googlewas originally founded on September 4, 1998. According to reports, in 2005, the company changed the birth date to September 27 to make it coincide with the announcement of the record number of pages that the search engine was indexing. (ANI)
