Google Doodle

If you're an avid Googler, you've most certainly cracked a smile over the past week typing into a search field gazed upon by a slew of Sesame Street characters. Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, Elmo, and The Count have recently been THE shining stars in the past six "Google Doodles." And it's anybody's guess which muppet may show up tomorrow, if any. There are several more Sesame Street characters that hold potential doodle-worthy clout...Snuffleupagus perhaps? I can visualize his eyes forming the two "O's" in "Google".

First aired in 1969, Sesame Street is celebrating it's 40th anniversary of muppets, A, B, C's and 1, 2, 3's this year. And I'll admit: Google’s tribute has brought a fun burst of excitement to my morning of launching into my web browser's Home Page. Plus, don't we all enjoy (even just a little bit) clicking on the Google logo and being whisked away to links about the featured doodle? If you've missed the Sesame Street Doodles, here they are, (screenshots courtesy of the Huffington Post).

While I thoroughly enjoy a colorful burst of Google creativity in the morning, I must reluctantly say, however, that six consecutive days of Sesame Street muppets kind of gets uninspiring. Cute, but let’s see something new. How about a Googled rendition of the fall of the Berlin Wall? Albeit, this momentous occasion would have fared better today on the official anniversary, but it's still my hope tomorrow morning to tune into a brilliantly Googled event of historical significance rather than more fuzzy puppets of my childhood, (as adorable and innocent as they may be).
