The power of search or print?
This is absolutely nice!
On Thursday, Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper ran a print ad for Google’s search advertising business.
“You know who needs a haircut? People searching for a haircut,” the ad reads. “Maybe that’s why ads on Google work.”
This is sooo cool! I love such ironic ads - advertising in print about digital. Though, this as was also run on a digital versions for mobile and tablet. Its nice that digital is advertised on print, though at some point this also shows the power of print, right? Well done!

Build LEGO with Google Chrome
Google Australia have worked with Lego to bring that building experience into the browser, again showing off what Chrome can do.
Using Google Maps and WebGL, Build lets you explore and build a new world of LEGO creations together online. Given there are 8 trillion bricks available, any of your ideas will find a place.
Right now Build is launching first in Australia and New Zealand as it is the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick coming to Australia. The team hopes to open in other countries soon.

Google Project Glass
Google has introduced a striking innovation that fuses real life and augmented reality and is supposed to make human life more effective and less time-wasting. The technology Hercules has unveiled the prototype of their augmented reality glasses showing what it might be.
This is Google’s first move into wearable computing. The glasses are equipped with a see-through lens that streams any needed information—from weather to maps and to text messages in seconds. For example, the video demonstrates how user takes picture of a graffiti-painted wall that he sees as he walk’s down the street. After taking a snapshot, he instantly shares it with friends in his Google+ Circles. The glasses that send and receive messages through voice commands. can also record video.
In my opinion, if this becomes our reality - it can be described with one word - sad. It is really sad how people get addicted to new technologies and let everyone know where they are, and instead of finding a location of a specific book section in a store by themselves people will google it? find it through the internet? this is sad! It takes more time to type it in the phone rather than go and find it. It is much more interesting to LIVE and experience life rather than live through the augmented reality.
Dont like this innovation and disappointed in Google. Hope that if it becomes a reality, it will not be soon.

April Fools
It is a tradition to fool people of 1st April - April Fool's Day! Here is an example how did some of the companies fool consumers this year! First - Google!
Simply awesome. For the last few years Google has thrown out great little April Fools, and this might just be the coolest (or at least the most old-skool) yet, launching this video promoting 8-Bit Google Maps for Nintendo! And while it’s obvious it’s an April Fools prank, they actually built it into Google Maps and you can access it here. It’s been so popular people are demanding it stay!

Google Project Re: Brief
“Project Re: Brief,” the effort tracks down some of the original Mad Men (and one Mad Woman) to re-imagine their classic ads for a modern audience. The first four participants: Harvey Gabor, art director behind Coca-Cola’s classic 1971 “Hilltop” ad; Amil Gargano, art director for Volvo’s 1962 “Drive it Like You Hate It,” campaign; Howie Cohen and Bob Pasqualina, copywriter and art director, respectively, behind Alka-Seltzer’s 1972 “I Can’t Believe I Ate the Whole Thing” ad; and Paula Green, copywriter for Avis’s 1962 “We Try Harder” campaign.
You must have got curious (at least I did) about seeing the final result of this story. The bad news is that the final documentary is not ready yet. The good news is that we already have the videos and pages of the Coca-Cola and Volvo experiences online.
That's absolutely brilliant! I've just sent my Coke from Lancaster, UK to Buenos Aires, Argentina! Go on the links and play as well! It is Brilliant! Google proved to be brilliant one more time! I really loved its 'Life In a Day' project (Life In A Day is a historic global experiment to create the world's largest user-generated feature film: a documentary, shot in a single day, by you. On July 24, you have 24 hours to capture a glimpse of your life on camera. The most compelling and distinctive footage will be edited into an experimental documentary film, executive produced by Ridley Scott and directed by Kevin Macdonald.) , but this project... its just...just a nice way how Google gets into different partnerships! ENJOY :)
And the final video!

Doodle 4 Google
When I saw this video I got soooo curious about this Google creative team! When I see different google doodles, I always smile, but I never thought about how they are created and who are these people who created them. So I wanted to do a little bit of research and find out about doodles!
Most companies take their corporate logo seriously and while Google also takes fun seriously. The combination of the two is what they’ve come to refer to as a “doodle”. The first doodle was made in 1998 when Google founders Larry and Sergey were attending the Burning Man Festival in the Nevada desert. They placed a stick figure drawing behind the second “o” in the logo to let users know they were “out of the office”.
Users were surprised to see a change to the standard and simple Google logo but enjoyed it and the playful nature of, what was then, a very young company.
Since then there have been over 1000 doodles for Google homepages around the world celebrating characters from Big Bird to Batman. Some doodles run globally (across all the Google homepages) and others are specific to just one country. Sometimes there are even multiple ones running at the same time, so our users in France may see one while in Japan they see another. For example, the picture below is from 16th February 2012 - and it represents Lithuanian Act of Independence
and obviously, this logo appeared only in Lithuania!
These doodles started as simple illustrations, like Burning Man, and progressed to more complex and sophisticated styles like The Anniversary of Pinocchio’s Publication.
As technology has grown and developed, so have doodles. In 2011, users got to explore 20,000 leagues under the sea with Jules Verne and share a tune they strummed on the Les Paul guitar or even play a game of PAC-MAN. (You better click on the last 3 links!)
So, how Google organised a team?
In 2000, Larry and Sergey asked current webmaster Dennis Hwang, an intern at the time, to produce a doodle for Bastille Day. Pleased with the result, Dennis was then appointed Google’s chief doodler and doodles became a regular occurrence on the Google homepage.
Over time, the demand for doodles quickly rose both in the U.S. and internationally. Creating doodles is now the responsibility of a team of talented designers. For them, creating doodles has become a team effort to enliven the Google homepage and bring smiles to a myriad of Google users worldwide.
They have also been doing different competitions, like “I love football” for 4-17 years old and the current competition running in the USA from students in grades K-12 - "If I could travel in time, I'd visit.....".
However, for those outside US, there are other opportunities. The doodle team is open to everyone's ideas - anyone can either send a request/idea for the next doodle ooooor design a doodle and send it to Google Doodle Team! This is email. And here you can find all the doodles!
Who knows, maybe one day you'll see your own doodle on the Google search? Or I will draw my own Google Doodle idea.. Why not? That's actually a good idea!
