Google Goes All Out For its Tenth Birthday!
I can never seem to get enough Google goodness, so when I discovered that it was Google's tenth birthday this month and that they set up a fun educational website for this special occasion, I was all over it! Learn trivia tidbits about the company — like what the most popular Google.com search query was in 1999, or when Klingon became one of Google's supported languages — you can find all of these fun facts on their site. You can also check out a really neat time line that showcases all of the Google milestones from the past ten years!
