Seven years later, and it has not only become the most popular search engine on the internet, but it has also become an integral part of many people's online life. From Google search to Google mail, Google Earth to Google Moon. It has even made its way into language as a common word.It is quite undeniable. Google is an amazing achievement. Happy birthday Google, and here's to many many more!"

    Interesting fact...
    Search for "Google Birthday" in google witht he "I am feeling lucky" option and Google will take you to a Page not Found, on this page there used to be an anser about when is google birthday...

    If you look at that page cache, you will see that the answer will be:
    Google's official birthday is September 7, 1998.
