Two Google tidbits for you today. Thankfully it’s not Tuesday, or else the alliteration could get really obnoxious…
Yes, It Works with Swears, Too. Logogle is a Google logo generator that takes normal text and converts it into Google logo. Two seconds is all it takes to type in your text, bookmark it, and create a customized Google homepage. (via Addict3d.org)
I’ve Got Good News (Well, Not Really). Great rant from Catharine Taylor of AdWeek on the overabundance of TV ads spoofing CSPAN hearings. This reminds me of a conference call I once witnessed while working at Google. Employees from offices all over the world were assembled for a last minute meeting. Larry and Sergey got on the phone as everyone waited with bated breath for what they thought would be an IPO announcement. Instead, they heard, “I’ve got good news [long dramatic pause] I just a saved a lot of money on my car insurance.” The timing was impeccable and it got a big laugh. The real announcement (the IPO news) came moments later.
