Why does Google have two L’s?

At Google’s homepage today, you will notice a misspelling of the world-renowned brand.

No, the #1 search engine was not hacked.

If you’ll hover the mouse over it, this is where you’ll find the reason for the doodle as the text “Google’s 11th Birthday” appears. If you click on it, you will be directed to the search results page for “google”.

Apparently, that’s not two L’s but rather two 1′s.

Happy 11th birthday Big G!
