Matt Cutts of Google had a holy costume. Google Blogoscoped noticed Google added trick or treat to their robots.txt file. Bing has a special visual search edition for today. Bruce Clay's team dressed up and PPC Heros added some funk. Finally, the logos you see below is reposted from the Search Engine Roundtable.

Oct 7, 2009 at 2:26am ET by Matt McGee

Google Celebrates Confucius’ Birthday
Sep 28, 2009 at 2:03pm ET by Matt McGee
Google is celebrating Confucius' birthday with a new logo that has the Chinese philosopher standing in place of the "l" in Google's regular logo. September 28, 551 BC, is traditionally recognized as Confucius' birthday.

"As you can imagine, it's sometimes tough to make these decisions but we aim to pick doodles that are most relevant to most users in any given country." The Confucius doodle can be found on [...]
