Google Pips The Guardian to the Post

A Google doodle yesterday featuring Big Bird’s legs has triggered a number of tributes to Sesame Street on its 40th anniversary. Intriguingly, this includes online articles in more-or-less conventional media such as The Guardian and The Christian Science Monitor.

Even more interestingly, I probably wouldn’t have known about the anniversary and its upcoming celebrations myself if it hadn’t been for the Google doodle. One more example of how the Internet and the companies that dominate it are revolutionizing the way we get and distribute news.
