    Google Goggle Hllhr Fiifle: When to Use Every Google Typo Domain Squatter

    If you want to use the back entrance: Gooogle.com, Gogle.com, Foofle.com

    Maybe things have gotten a little stale between you and Google lately. Maybe, late one night, you find yourself combing through back pages of your old LiveJournal in search of a former flame’s phone number (Why did you ever stop using Dogpile, anyway? Rachel’s right – you are too picky). Maybe you hear a cough over your shoulder and you turn your head, and it’s Google, wearing a shoulder-length blonde wig.

    Maybe it’s time for a little role play.

    “Call me Gogle,” says Google. “No, wait, that’s dumb. Call me Gooogle. Or, waitwaitwait, how about I’m a sexy French maid? Yeah, that one’s good. Bonjour, bonjour! Je m’appelle Foofle. Voulez-vous turn off safe search? ;)”

    Spicy.

  2. Hurr horse on Zagat logo

    Google’s Zagat Reviews the Web

    Google just bought Zagat. Weird, right? A search company buying a food reviewer? Well obviously it’s so they can start reviewing the internet.

    AOL: The “internet button on the computer” provides “my letters” and “the virus checker.” Users can “say hi to your cousin, remember her birthday’s coming up,” watch “this cat is funny and reminded me of you” and “need your help with the DVD player, please come over, did you get my instant message, Love Mom.”

    Next: YouTube, Twitter and Wikipedia. »

  3. Google doodle and the Richmond

    Striking Waiters Accidentally Get Coverage on the Top of Google

    Unintended consequences are fun. Like how the invention of the laser led to precise surgery, DVD burning and bored kids bringing down aircraft.

    So you know Google doodles, and how the doodle on the homepage always clicks through to a search for the relevant subject. Today it’s Jorge Luis Borges.

    And the search page these days always includes some news results at the top. This spot is quickly taken by a story about the doodle itself. Presumably there’s a race to get that story up, because whoever’s up there is getting millions of click-throughs.

    But there’s often another story or two that mention the main subject. Today, for example, it’s the fight over the shutdown of the Café Richmond, a “legendary” restaurant in Buenos Aires where Borges used to hang out (as did American writer Graham Greene).

    And now it’s gonna be a sneaker store. »

  4. Google Think Quarterly splash page

    Think Quarterly: Google’s New Actual Paper Magazine

    Has anyone else noticed the recent rise of “thinky”, sparely-designed zine-blogs in the tradition of McSweeney’s and the Rumpus? You know, The Awl, Thought Catalog, ESPN’s Grantland?

    Yeah well it’s a thing and now it’s definitely a thing because Google launched one too: Think Quarterly. They even send print copies to certain business execs, sez the Atlantic.

    I’unno, maybe they’re just cribbing from Fast Company. But I’m gonna pretend they poached the designer of The Morning News.

    I’m Not Naive About Google’s Plan to Build a Robot Army

    I’m not naive about Google.

    — New York Times digital head Martin Nisenholtz, in a quarterly earnings call

    Sir, you may think I’m naive. A man of my technical prowess, working for that relic the New York Times? It wouldn’t be my first choice, sir. But knowing what I know, it is the only choice.

    Let me tell you Google’s plan. »
