Have you googled today?

Today's Google "icon," if you will, is pretty remarkable. Martha Graham: modern dancer and choreographer "whose influence on dance has been compared to the influence Picasso had on the visual arts, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture" (Wikipedia). Be it a stroke of genius or quiet cleverness, I've got to hand it to Google.



Folks visit the search engine.
They're loving what they see.
They click on the icon.
They learn something new.


And after I learned it was Martha Graham's birthday? I visited youtube. Then decided I quite preferred the "White Christmas" take on things — "Choreography" (a video I can't find on youtube for the life of me! So, instead, clicking on Vera will take you to one of my favorite "White Christmas" dance numbers). All this searching because of Google's Wednesday icon. I salute the brains of that operation — your trickery's working on this one!
