Google celebrates its 19th birthday

Back in 1997 Larry Page started a search engine named after the number “googol” and 19 years later we all celebrate the birthday of one of the largest tech companies globally. Today may be a day for celebrations over at Mountain View, but we also get to feast with 19 surprises, available through a spinning wheel and a new Easter egg.

When you google “google birthday surprise spinner”, you’ll get a spinning wheel like the one on “The Price is Right”. Spinning it, you get plenty of surprises, including games like tic-tac-toe, Solitaire, a tour around the Galapagos islands or Earth Day quiz.

The Easter egg is also intriguing. When you enter “snake” into the search bar, you’ll get the Snake game before any suggestions, results, and images. Playing the game is easy both on desktop and mobile.

Google boasts that it currently serves 4.5 billion users in 160 countries and speaks 123 languages. Here’s to many more!
