At first I thought this might explain Google's recent purchases of the 'dark fiber'. Afterall, they would need the fiber to support the bandwidth for the free wireless internet connection they are offering. Unfortunately this is just an april fool joke but Google becoming ISP is not that far off.

Pathetic!

just shows there are too many geeks in the company with less work. - thinking about toilets - bringing dogs to work - eat free food - roller hockey - sleep at work

Google shows its ugly corporate side where people will email this link around and everyone who visits will generate a hit to Google site, maybe a % of them will search on Google and a fraction of this % will generate $$$ via Ads.

It is apparent that funny rules the Web for sure! I tend to be the more serious type, but you have to be able to laugh.

Next we will have Google scratch and sniff ads called Adsnifs.

As far as I remember, Google has been pulling pranks for the last 3 years keep it's corporate humor kicking and alive on April Fool's day.

Surprisingly, Microsoft hasn't yet copied this April Fool concept :-)
