Google turns 10, gives itself a birthday party (website)
Kevin Spiess - Thursday, September 25th, 2008 | 12:31PM (PT)


Ten years later, one changed world later

Google turns 10, gives itself a birthday party (website) Image 1

You might have heard of Google. It is a popular 'search engine' on the 'Internet.' 

Google gave itself a bit of birthday present, of sorts; launching a new website to commemorate the occasion. The website has a couple of cool features.

One cool feature is a timeline, stuffed to the cluster with interesting tidbits on Google trivia and assorted minutiae. Do you know what Project Back Rub was? (Hint: it wasn't a project about back rubs.) Did you know that the search keyword that was quickest to gain popularity in 2001 was "Nostradamus" ? Who could've predicted that.

A second cool thing about this Google birthday site is that it could end up making you $2 million dollars and help the entire human race -- especially if you're an especially smart, or creatively inventive human person. Don't Google it -- just watch this video:

 

Amazing to think that Google went from a pretty good idea in someone's brain, to the entity of Supreme Overlord Regent of the Internet, in only a span of about ten years. Not bad! Send me some stocks.

    I think the term for that is called "spam". Because that made no sense what so ever.

    Wow Kathy, that's quite the story. You are a shoe-in for the most Incomprehensible SPAM of the Year Award.

    I'm actually tempted to 'wright' you. After you all, you do have a "B.A. Biology Who's Who."
