Partying on New Year’s
Eve has become a tradition and Google had efficiently kept the spirit of this
tradition alive with all its year end doodles since 2011, until this year when
it has made a significantly different effort of wrapping up the entire year in
its Google doodle, which claims to reflect “2014 trending topics.”
Let’s take a quick recap
of 2014 and list the events that made an impression, remarkable enough to be
revisited as the year fades out.
The remarkable 2014 FIFA
World Cup. Flappy Bird, the new smart phone game that kept the users glued to their
cellphones. The fascinating tale of how the Mangalyaan conquered the red planet. The European spacecraft, Philae Lander and its adventurous journey to a comet. And of course the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that took the social media by storm
across the world and eventually got transformed into a number of other
challenges like the Book Bucket challenge and the Rice Bucket challenge.
Well, the Google doodle
for New Year’s Eve 2014 has it all.
As the cursor moves on
the doodle, a flappy bird pops out of one of the ‘O’s, dodges the letters that
follow efficiently until it turns into the FIFA football and the ‘L’ kicks it.
The ‘GOOGLE’ gets morphed into ‘2014’, with the ‘1’ transforming into the Mangalyaan
off on its mission and the Philae Lander landing on the ‘O’, the comet! While
the ‘2’ shivers with cold after taking the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Another click on the
Google doodle takes you to a detailed list of the topics that were most popular
throughout the year. You can explore the 2014 Trending Topics from http://www.google.com/trends/topcharts?hl=en&geo=US&date=2014

Although the transition
of the Google doodle like the preceding years this time seems challenging, but
then you never know what the search engine has in store for us.
