Google welcomes lunar new year with animated doodle


Google on Thursday welcomed the Lunar New Year with an animated doodle of a sheep/ram triggering fireworks after hitting a tree.

The animation on Google's homepage (www.google.com) showed the animal being startled after the fireworks explode and eventually form the word "GOOGLE."

Clicking on the doodle will take the visitor to a Google Search Results page for "Lunar New Year."

Filipinos on Wednesday night and Thursday morning joined the Chinese community in welcoming the New Year with fireworks and programs.
