Today is Google's 22nd anniversary. Now, maybe it's today, maybe it's not - I'm not sure. Even Google doesn't know the correct answer to this question. September marks the 22nd birthday of internet giant Google. In 1998, Google went from a research project at Stanford to a search engine that grew into a billion dollar business. But there is a little confusion over Google's anniversary. In the past, Google itself has celebrated this historic day on various dates like September 7, 8, 4 and 27.
There are rumors that Larry Page and Sergey Brin filed for Google incorporation on September 4, 1998, and it was incorporated three days later. It was also reported that Google's domain name was registered on September 15.
On its website, Google :
"When is Google's birthday?
I'm not even sure we know that.
The company adds, "Despite differences of opinion on when to put out the candles and the cake, a funny fact is that our first doodle was released even before Google was officially incorporated (August 30, 1998 vs. September 4, 1998). With a company that has fun as deep in its DNA as Google, it just seems fitting that any function is a real party, if you will. "
However, now Google is officially celebrating its birthday with a Google Doodle on September 27. It is said that Google changed and set a date to gain media attention when Yahoo! started to give tough competition to Google.

In the letter from their founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin state: "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to be. Throughout Google's evolution as a private company, we have handled Google differently. "
They have succeeded in making Google one of the biggest companies on the planet with the power to destroy (or prosper) any other business.
As we celebrate the 22nd anniversary, I am excited about the projects this company plans to execute in the future and the milestones it aims to achieve.
