Never really noticed this before. I checked through their “logo archives” and I couldn’t seem to find any special Google logo commemorating 9/11. And yet… they had one to mark the 125th Birthday of Walter Gropius. An important figure to millions across the world.

Cassy Fiano: Google remembers 9-11, too… by doing nothing; Dogpile remembers
While I can’t say I’m going to boycott Google for this (there’s so many other things one could choose in addition this instance) but Dogpile seems like an interesting meta-search engine. I was about to say it’s sleeker looking than the “classic” bare-bones MetaCrawler…until I realized Infospace owned by Dogpile and MetaCrawler too. heh.
