Happy Tenth Birthday, Google
Friday, October 3rd, 2008
Google is bringing back their oldest archive for everybody in the whole internet to search. Back when Geocities and Yahoo groups were big, when Hampster Dance was still cool, and AOL chat rooms were the shizz.
Okay. The Hampster Dance is ALWAYS cool until they tried to make it cooler.
Google had its birthday party in Greece says one website. BBC says they aren’t having a big party. So… did they celebrate? idk! This website I’ve never heard of, Weberence, says it was the EMEA Conference (that’s “Europe, Middle East, and Africa” to you less hip folks), but that’s in reference to a comment on another site. Regardless, the Google people had 2500 of their people doing the Syrtaki, a dance known as the zorba song, breaking the old Guinness World Book record of 1608 set by Australians.
BBC’s got a cute video using Google Earth Maps and an article about how the public is reacting to the milestone.
