Facts You Need to Know About Google on Its 21st Birthday
Google is the biggest internet company in the world today. And it seems that this giant, successful company is going to have a birthday. As a present, we came up with a few interesting facts in honor of the birthday big boy company.
1. People do not seem to know Google’s exact birth date.
Yes, it is true. People do not know the exact date of Google’s birthday. It has been reported that Google has been given six different dates for their official birthday. Eventually they decided they need a fixed date, so that people know when to celebrate. Google later determined that September 27th will be the day.
