Google has put out a special logo today to commemorate the late Michael Jackson’s 51st birthday.
It’s a bit intriguing that Google has chosen to commemorate Michael on a day also marked across the nation as a tribute to the late Senator Ted Kennedy, I’m sure deciding one over the other may have been a difficult chore for Googlers, as the United States has lost a true democratic leader and the last of his generation.
Michael Jackson however, is an International superstar (and Google is an International phenom) who like Kennedy, is still shining bright, so there are no complaints here.
Looking at other engines, neither Yahoo, Bing, Dogpile or Ask.com are paying tribute to Michael or Kennedy today, so good for you Google and thanks for reminding the world that today is Michael’s b-day.
