Some Google Fun on Google+

obama-joking

Google gives us a lot of headaches when it comes to business, but through the years they have also given us a lot of things to smile or even laugh about. April fools jokes, Easter Eggs, you name it.

Since the end of the year is approaching we figured it would be fun to look back at some fun things Google did in the past like those Easter Eggs and April fools jokes. Every day until the end of the year we will share one on our Google+ page. On this page we will collect them all. All jokes are collected by our specialist on this area: Michel Wester. (more…)

Google Lets It Snow, In Their SERPS

let-it-snow

Do you remember that several years ago people would decorate their blogs and websites with all sorts of moving stuff, especially around Christmas?

Whats your reputation management like?

Eric Schmidt last year said something in the lines of “If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” Maybe he had been looking at the tv show “two and a half men” from 2006. In the show the ‘power’ of the web and the power of being indexed by Google is shown. Some reputation management is in order here.

This clip is funny, but it really shows where the problem with privacy is at the moment: peoples ignorance and the fact that others can do what they want, even though its your name they are talking about. But hey… If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know…

By the way: the website discussed in the clip “charlieharpersucks.com” actually existed! But it is now redirected to the Warner Bros website.

Ok, it’s Saturday afternoon, so forgive me if this isn’t the most in-depth post you will ever see on State of Search. However, this video, made by College Humor, is so hilarious I just couldn’t resist. College Humor made this video as a parody on the Google Wave instruction videos on the web. Watch and enjoy it on this weekend!
