Today is Google's ninth birthday - as witnessed by the cute pi&ntilda;ata in their home page logo*. So that means it's been nine years since that clean, simple page with just a logo, a search box and a button appeared and changed the way the web worked. Again.

I won't rehash Google's history, Wikipedia does the usual splendid job on that, suffice it to say they are still a great example, along with many others such as youTube & Facebook, that nothing is written in stone in this Internets business. That idea you just had may seem a little crazy/obvious/impossible to you right now, but in nine years time me and many others could be blogging about how your idea changed the world. Of course it won't be 'blogging' then but memelizing.... coff. Excelsior!

* And no. Nothing happens if you 'hit' the pi&ntilda;ata unfortunately..
