E.C. Segar's 115th Birthday on Google Homepage
I must say, I really like how Google and Bing both work a bit of serendipity into their search engines these days. It helps to go to the site and see a dash of playfulness and personality and adds a human touch, a feeling that there is some editor working on pleasantly surprising the users every day.
Not to mention the fact that I think it works to get more users checking back in day to day. It could just be my heightened awareness to it but I could swear Google is accelerating the number of these special site treatments. While not as cryptic as the infamous Valentine’s Day “Googe” incident, the most viewed post ever on this blog, today’s treatment is a fun trip down memory lane.
The E.C. Segar treatment pays honor to what would have been the 115th birthday of the famous cartoonist who learned to cartoon via a correspondence course while working as a film projectionist. Bravo sir!
