Google Turns Eleven

Google is celebrates its 11th birthday on Monday, 28 September with another example of its famous Google "doodles" -- a special logo on its search front page. The internet giant has added an extra L to its name to form an 11, representing its eleven years as a company.

However, there is some confusion over the exact date of the company's birth. Last year, Google put up its 10th birthday logo on September 2 and, according to its Wikipedia entry, it was incorporated as a privately held company on September 4 1998.

The world's favourite search engine, founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were PhD students at Stanford University, could also choose to celebrate on 15 September, the day the Google domain name was registered.
