Google is 9 ...Just 9?

The online giant officially turned 9 yesterday.
Yesterday Google altered its logo to honor the company’s ninth birthday.

Amazing.

Billions of dollars in revenue; now often considered the "bad guy" even though its slogan is "Don't be evil;" stunning market share in search; worldwide growth; more initiatives underway than seemingly dozens of other companies...

Amazing.

And it isn’t even 10 years old. By contrast, eBay launched 12 years ago. Yahoo began as a student hobby in February 1994. So both are older, by far -- at least in Internet terms.

As my son Avi sometimes says, "Gotta love Google. It's the only product I use 50 times a day -- and it’s free!"
