Happy Anniversary, Google! Today, Google is marking its 22nd year in existence with an animated birthday Doodle.
Google is celebrating its 22 years of launch with an animated doodle. Google is one of the most user-friendly search engines, it is also the most popular search engine created as a research project in 1998 by Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
Today’s Google Doodle shows an animated G wearing a birthday hat. He is looking in a laptop while surrounded by a gift box, cake, and box. The laptop screen shows G’s friends (the rest of Google’s alphabets) in four separate windows, in celebration mode.
The company was founded roughly 22 years ago when Stanford Ph.D. students and Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page published a paper called The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine. In it, the pair outlined Google, a prototype “large-scale search engine” that had a database of “at least 24 million pages.”
The partnership between Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin has its roots in the sunny campus of Stanford University. As graduate students, the duo set out to improve the way people interacted with the wealth of information on the World Wide Web. In 1998, Google was born, and the rest is history.
