Google has been really smart in so many ways. Google gives the best service and at the same time with a twist of humor and mystery. Google knows what the internet users really need and it was probably their key to their success. Right now, with this simple logo you see how the wits of Google. It only server as a proof how smart is Google compared to their competitors. No wonder they are very successful right now. Google influences people and teaches people in such a unique way.
