Jokes with the word Google :) Or not a joke ...

In continuation to the previous post .
Let's start with congratulations and apologies :) Congratulations on the Day of Fools, and apologies for possible inaccuracies. We, in principle, guess where the joke is. But what if she is not alone?

So, the first news - Day without Google.
The blog on alternative search services announced April 1st "Happy Without Google . " We quote (if possible keeping the spelling features):

Editor's Note: This blog is not anti-google.
All we ask for is that on One Day you try one of the Top 100 Alternative Search Services that will be posted here on One Day - April 1, 2008. And no, this is not a joke, we are very serious. Choose one, choose several, but on One Day give Alternative Search Services a chance and see what life would be without Google. Everything will be OK. True.

The first comment from Yakov Sadchikov from Quintura promises a list of Russian alternative search engines on the quintour blog and something special on the site itself (if you find something there, let me know).


The second news is a prediction service from Google.
The Australian branch of Google announced the launch of gDay - a service that predicts events for the day ahead. The service is implemented by both existing Google algorithms and new ones, such as MATE (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation). The essence, in contrast to the loud name, is quite simple and ordinary - Google search robots analyze available relevant information, superimposing relevant historical data on it and “mixing” other information from third-party suppliers, such as weather services, online sweepstakes, etc. .

News three - Google Docs offline.
The official application on the blog Google Docs. The application uses the Google Gears platform and so far will not be compatible with FireFox 3. So far, only a text editor will work and is only for editing.
