There is a doodle
on the Google home page that celebrates the company's 16th birthday. But the
interesting fact is that September 27 isn't the search giant's birthday.
The selection of
September 27 as Google's birthday seems to be a one of convenience than the
actual date when the company was founded.
Google celebrated
September 7 (the day when the company was incorporated) as its birthday till
2005. In 2005 Google changed the date to September 27 to make it coincide with
the announcement of the record number of pages that the search engine was
indexing.
