feeling_playful

Google placed a new small Easter Egg on the homepage of the search engine which can only be seen on the American homepage (Google.com). It’s about the well-known, historic I’m feeling Lucky button. When you place your mouse on the button the text will change to something else, for example, I’m Feeling Puzzled or I’m Feeling Hungry. There are eight different kind of buttons this way and every button has his own destination.

The I’m Feeling Trendy links to Google Trends and the I’m feeling puzzled links to Google’s own game A Google a Day, several buttons are linking to random Google Doodles. (more…)

Chuck Norris Easter Egg in Knowledge Graph

After the Lionel Richie Easter Egg in the Knowledge Graph a few weeks ago there is another one hidden within the biggest search engine of the world. After searching for Lionel Richie on Google.com more information will show next to the search results with in this case the title ‘Hello, is it me you’re looking for’ referring to the line from the song “Hello” from 1983. This time it’s Chuck Norris who is subject of the Easter Egg.

After Lionel Richie you could expect more “Eggs” being hidden in the Knowledge Graph and the next Egg is related to Chuck Norris (Carlos Ray Norris) known for his role in the television show Walker, Texas Ranger from the Nineties. When searching for Chuck Norris on Google.com the search engine will show more information on the right but this time the Knowledge Graph will present you some interesting facts like ‘Chuck Norris doesn’t sleep. He waits’. (more…)

Google Supporting Gay Marriage With Easter Egg?

A few weeks ago Eric Schmidt told a group of Dutch students that Google always tries to be impartial when it comes to political matters. They feel they shouldn’t take stand and even though Eric Schmidt has been linked to the Democrats before and Obama has spoken at Google, they claim not to have a preference.

On one matter however Google has always been clear: it supports the gay community and gay marriage. Sergey Brin actually took a pretty solid stand towards Proposition 8 in California in 2008.

At the moment the discussion about gay marriage again comes up in the US and it might seem as if Google again is taking stand. The fact that its in the news is actual a coincidence with what happens if you do a search for “Gay” or “Gay marriage” on Google you will get this result:

As said, this is not directly related to the news, it is something which Google has done in different formats over the years as you can see on the screens on Michel’s post on his own blog. But it is a nice coincidence for those supporting the purpose.

Zerg Rush Easter Egg from Google, defend your search results!

Recently Google is occasionally hiding bigger Easter Eggs in the Search Engine. This started last year with the query ‘Do A Barrel’ roll which still works and lets you turn the page, short after that around the holidays the query ‘let it snow’ made it actually snowing on the page with results with a Defrost button to bring the results back.

In the past more smaller subtile Easter Eggs where hidden by Google in the search engine and other products. For example, for some time in many doodles there was a little triforce, YouTube contained serveral ‘eggs’, Google Maps at this moment has a small kayak Egg and currently on the homepage of Android.com there is a small Easter Egg hidden in the footer.

Google Lets It Snow, In Their SERPS

Do you remember that several years ago people would decorate their blogs and websites with all sorts of moving stuff, especially around Christmas? And it wasn’t just the personal websites which got that decoration, business sites as well. That seems to have drift over in the past few years. But Google is now bringing that back.

A special ‘easter egg’ which Google developed now lets it snow inside Google’s SERPS. Do a search for let it snow on Google.com and your screen will be filled with snow flakes. And not just that, the screen also gets a frozen look, meaning the search results slowly disappear. (more…)
