Longtime readers will note I do not post on the Google doodles, which honestly, I don't much like (hey, I know folks love em, but I'm allowed to dissent). But I love this one. Today is the birthday of Louis Braille.

Yup, it makes the perfect gift for that officemate or colleague who you thought had everything....including you! If you order here, I promise to sign it, assuming we can figure out the shipping...

It is a nice gesture from Google to remember such a man who provided such a great service to humanity.
my grandma is blind, but google have forgetten a blind-tick or sound, if a blind person move the mouse over the sign ;) this are the better idea, but the idea and gestrure is cool for google :) if you look to yahoo or alexa ... it is the same look and feel like very day.
Not talked about is the fact that this morning Google had the wrong logo up for a while. On Google Personalized this morning Google was showing the Google 7th birthday logo. A rare slip-up for big G.
Clicking on the logo takes you to a results page about Louis Braille. Earlier today there was a paid listing for a people finder site with the copy 'where have you gone Louis Braille' - looks like they have taken it down.
I guess the editors can't catch everything - but they sure try with my campaigns.
Used to think they were wasting a bit of download speed for users to change them so often, but I now find them somewhat...comforting....
It's me again..
This link proved what I said earlier was correct!

How can they (Google+Wikipedia & others) stop this from happening in the future as this seems to be a common problem..?? Any thoughts..??
