UA Day Google Doodle?
by André Schappo Jan. 25, 2023

Jan. 25, 2023

Not sure if this has already been discussed.It seems to me that a good way to enlighten many people about UA would be to have a UA Day Google Doodle on 28th March. UA is after all an endeavour for everyone.Google doodles home is at google.com/doodlesIf you look at some of the doodles you will see a section entitled "This Doodle's Reach".https://www.google.com/doodles/lunar-new-year-2023-south-korea reaches South Korea onlyhttps://www.google.com/doodles/lunar-new-year-2023 reaches UK, France, Australia, Indonesia, Philippines and several other countries but not the whole world.I do not know how it is determined which countries are included in the reach of a doodle. I guess it is done algorithmically. Maybe based on keyword search statistics?UA is relevant to every country/culture and so it is important that a UA Day Doodle reach includes every country in the world.Google receives many request for new doodles and so there is no guarantee that a UA Day Google Doodle request submission would succeed.Thoughts?André Schappo
