Google Plus, Google's latest attempt at a social networking service, has launched in similar invite-only form. But instead of getting on the list at an exclusive club, a Google Plus invite is more like an opportunity to sign up for a slightly unsavory psychological experiment.

Evolution of Google Homepage [1997 - 2009]

In 1997 to early 1998, Google was still available at google.stanford.edu. The Beta sign wasn’t yet live.

 In 1998, Google was almost cluttered. Back then there was still some emphasis on “Stanford Search,” showing the roots of where Google comes from. Also, right on the front-page you could subscribe to the now extinct Google Friends newsletter. And of course, Google – with the not so pretty logo co-founder Sergey made in GIMP – was still in Beta.

Colour of 'g' in Google while decoding it

While the festive Google Logo, Google doodle is pictorial, it is also interesting to decode letters 'Google', that are arranged with the pictures. A little bit of scrutiny will decode the hidden letters.
While the capital 'G', the first letter is in blue formed with the pictures of St. Basil's Cathedral in Russia, Acropolis of Athens, Buche de Noel, the focus however is the perplexing 'g' in the spelling.

A closer look will reveal the colour of 'g' in Google. The 'g' is formed with the pictures of Venice Gondolas and Nepal (Singing Nepalese). The Venice Gondolas has a greyish blue, which goes perfectly with blue in the picture of Nepal. So the colour of 'g' in Google, highlighted is 'blue'.
