...and has even further to go.
BTW, what kind of file extension is '.stm'?
markus007, thanks for that BBC link. It was interesting, and full of mistakes. I guess the quality at the BBC has dropped considerably as well!
Smart as this child is, she probably already knows how to tie her shoe laces. Maybe this year, she'll learn to tie some loose ends too. :)

Hey GoogleGuy, what flavor was the cake? :)
Have fun and keep googling!

Was searching through Google archive and found this statement by Larry Page. Well Larry I think you did manage to get more than 24 million pages. Happy Birthday Google and have a properous future.
Well, it's a cute logo. :D Five years already? I thought it was three...
I suppose that's a very long time ago indeed. Now it's lost in the haze of memory... I don't remember when I started using Google, anyway.
Just saw the new logo
Wish it is clickable like all the other logos...with a link to timeline of G or something like that.
'5' in the logo could be anything.
Funny how their birthdate changes over the years. September 27 last year. This year September 09. I tried googling when googles birthday really is but I get nowhere.
On that link it says Googles Birthday is September 29. Am I missing something? When is it really?
A whois search for Google.com shows that the domain name was originally registered on 15-sep-1997 so I guess we will be wishing them a happy 6th Birthday on Sunday?
Most documents I found on the subject said "Founded in September 1998"
But wait, [google.com...] shows Google was around in April 98.
I guess there is a discrepancy between the domain name, the incorporated company, the activity and the real birth date.
GoogleGuy will have to sort this one out officially.....for me it was 15-sep-1997, the first date someone got serious about making it happen :)
It seems that Google just decided that the 9th would be its big day.
I'll do my best. I poked around and it looks as though the birthday is for the date of Google's incorporation, which was Sept. 7, 1998. See [google.com.au...] for backup. The first celebration I heard about took place for the two-year anniversary on September 7, 2000. That occasion was marked by some night-owl engineers with 2-3 boxes of Krispy Kremes and vast quantities of Soul Calibur.
GoogleGuy, now wondering if Soul Calibur II includes Voldo, Lizard Man, Sophitia, Yoshimitsu..
I hope WebmasterWorld doesn't get penalized for my repeated key-words...
That is the true birth date IMHO....the Inc. date was just a formality.
Great ideas are born when two or more people agree they are great ideas and should do something about them:)
Many Happy Returns Google!
Thanks for that GG, but now I want to go with 1995....but on what date in 1995 did Larry and Sergey "collaborate to develop technology that will become the foundation for the Google search engine"?

I have to disagree on this one bud. When a couple plans to have a child, the child isn't born until it leaves the womb. I think the Inc. date is good because the legal papers are sort of like a birth certificate.
I ran a company as a sole proprietor for a couple of years before the accountant and attorney got "heavy" about it....to be honest I still think they were wrong, but who the heck cares for $300 a year in filing fees.
The birth date for me will be the date that the idea was seriously born between the people involved....not the date it became its own legal entity.
Too much legal claptrap and not enough glamour in any other concept for me to relate to....I appreciate that some may feel differently ;)
