Google turns 6!

Posted by Mr magoo on 07 September 2004 - 18:35 · 52 comments & 5626 views

Regular users of Google might have noticed a new logo on the popular search engines new page.

Google's 5th year has been explosive, and perhaps it's most important to date. It's seen its IPO, a variety of new features, and continued dominance of the search market.

Although it's been exciting, they've faced increase competition from other market players, and had a variety of law suits thrown at them.

Best of luck to Google, and many happy returns!

(2 replies) #27 Posted by neostyle on 07 Sep 2004 - 22:16: When I need you
I just type in some words and I'm with you
And all that you so want to give me
It's only a mouseclick away
When I need news
I hold out my hands and I touch news
I never knew there was so much news
Keeping me informed night and day
Miles and miles of empty net in between us
The messenger can't take the place of your ads
But you know I won't be googlin' forever
It's cold out, but hold out, and do I like I do
When I need you
I just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that you so wanna give me babe
It's only a mouseclick away....
i luv u google babe
happy bday
