Google Doodle celebrates
the internet giant's 17th birthday on September 27, but the date has varied
over the years

its 17th birthday with a
commemorative Doodle harking back to the 1990s.
The image, features a
retro style, plastic PC, lava lamp and even 1998's "Google!" Logo, features
on Google's homepage on September 27, which the internet giant has chosen as its birthday.
However, not even Google
seems to really know when it was formed. Since 2006, it has celebrated its
birthday on September 27, but the year before that, In 2004, its 6th birthday
Doodle went online on
September 7 and in the year
before that, it was September
8.

dates seem to have any particular relevance. The
company's history has its
incorporation date in 1998 - the nearest thing to a corporate birthday - as
September 4.
Google's confusion in 2013, admitting it had celebrated its birthday on four different
dates, but September 27 now seems to have stuck. The company may have just
chosen the date because it was what the
first birthday Doodle in 2002 used.
The 17th birthday Google
will appear in almost every country in the world, according to the Doodle
blog, with the USA one big exception.
