Anyone tried Google lately?




Usually when you hover it will give a brief description but not this time.
I guess they're just having fun.

2. The search page is fun, too
Move your mouse over it to mess it up again.

3. Ever since they decided to have fun with Verizon I've stayed away
No matter how clever their stuff might be, I can't stomach their business practices.

4. I was going to post a link to it...
But somehow I can't do it without showing my whole desktop, and I'd rather not do that....

You should go check out their homepage anyway...

I was enchanted!

:hi: lpbk2713!

8. Did you click on the four colored balls?
Edited on Tue Sep-07-10 01:25 AM by aquart
It has been brought to my attention that not everyone sees the four balls, only those of us who have chosen a photographic background for our Google page. The Google for the rest of you is written in colored balls and your mouse can make them move and dance and get bigger and it's just fun.

9. Yes. It's hard to do.




And I tried to keep one at a time from regrouping for as long as possible.
I was trying to see if there was some sort of hidden game.

10. I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering about this!
I think they came up with it to keep cats occupied.

17. Today is Google's 8th anniverary
I googled google balls, and found the answer.

Very nice. I still use Google as my search engine. It's simple, sweet and to the point.
