Round of Applause for Google

I have to say, google does a great job highlighting things with their search page. From historical events, seasons, characters, people, etc, google sheds lights on it all. Some are still and others are small stories that start with just one click. Here are a few examples.


John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer and occasional singer.


            Frida Kahlo de Rivera, born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón, was a Mexican painter who is best known for her self-portraits.

Dracula


Martin Luther King, March in Selma


D.C. Comics super heros




Winter time



Harriet Tubman was an African-American abolitionist, humanitarian, and, during the American Civil War, a Union spy.




While these are all wonderful tributes , there newest one is my favorite. Not only can you click on it and it becomes animated, it is also interactive! It takes you on a short journey through some of Ludwig Van Beethoven's greatest works. 



Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers.
