Oh Those Crazy Googlians
Google always seems to be trying new tricks to keep people coming back. This latest one is very very cool. Go to google.com and in the search box type let it snow. Watch what happens. Keep watching for a minute to get the full effect.
It won't work for me! Why won't it work for me?
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeletedoesn't work for me either grrrr
ReplyDeleteMe either. I'm windows.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I try to use google.com it automatically redirects to google.ca. What is it?
ReplyDeleteIt starts snowflakes on your screen then starts to cloud up a bit, a little button comes up and says 'defrost' and clears your screen of 'frost' and snows again. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteSueEllen - on google.ca, if you scroll down to the bottom, you can click on google.com and it will redirect you there.
ReplyDeleteDon't type "snow," type "let it snow", and hit search.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't work on iPad :(
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work on Internet Explorer but it did work on Chrome
ReplyDeleteMac OS folks .. especially older OS .. try using Firefox.
ReplyDeleteI tried it right away on Safari when I saw EL's post .. and it didn't work. After much "Why me!! I never get to have anything fun happen!! Whaaaaaa!!!" .. I remembered I also have Firefox on here .. D'oh!!
So went in on Firefox And VOILA!!
i tested it.. it only works on Chrome.. Not on Explorer or Firefox.
ReplyDeleteIt works for me on Firefox.
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile :)

then do a search... another cool thing though not by the google peeps...
Works for me using Firefox, but not IE.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love Google. Did you see that you can use your mouse when it's frosted to make a smiley (or whatever)?
ReplyDeleteRead this article about the other little hidden gems. I feel like Steven Hawking just explained the universe using legos.
