A year ago, Google introduced a new Googlebot Mascot, which was a cute looking spider. But it had no name. Well, a year later, Myriam on Twitter spotted in the alt tag of the image on the blog post that the Spider mascot has a name. The name of the spider is Crawley!
ALT attributes contain very important information folks.
