We all know google as a great search engine, I've been using it almost exclusively since it launched in the late 90's. Sergey and Larry have been pumping out the applications ever since with great services such as g-mail, docs and spreadsheets, and google maps, to name a few. If you've never explored google take a few moments and click the "more" link on the google home page. I'll write about some of my favorites at a later date.
The focus of this post however is their corporate sense of humour. It appears as though they really don't take themselves very seriously, or at least they can appreciate a really good joke. Next April 1, be sure to give the google page a good second look... go ahead put it in your google calendar now!
The latest hint of google humour was brought to my attention this morning. For laughs try the following:
1. Go to google maps;
2. Click on the "Get directions" link;
3. Enter "New York, NY" in the from field;
4. Enter "Paris, France" in the to filed;
5. Click the "Get Directions" button;
6. Read the list of directions; and
7. Laugh out load when you get to number 24!
Thanks Adam!
