Valentine’s Day 2011: Search Engines Feelin’ the Love

Google’s Robert Indiana Doodle wasn’t the only special logo or Valentine’s Day treat put out by the search engines. Bing, Yahoo, Ask, DuckDuckGo, and even Wolfram|Alpha are also feeling the love in their own ways today.

In addition to their special doodle, Google is offering an Valentine’s Day e-card powered by Google Maps. At Map Your Valentine, you can use Google Maps to remind your Valentine of a special or romantic place, which will then show up on the e-card with pair of pins combined to appear as a heart:

Yahoo has an animated logo feature a pair of love birds:
