Today's Google Doodle celebrates the search engine's 21st birthday. Now, the verb "google" has been added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary, meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet." Google Doodles, too, have been part of the company since its inception. Several other Google services also figure in the top 100 most visited websites, including YouTube and Blogger. Google has often come under fire over issues of aggressive tax avoidance, search neutrality, copyright, censorship of search results and content, and privacy.
