Google Gulp

Today is April Fool’s Day, and there were numerous pranks on the cyberspace. Among all these humorous and creative jokes, I like to bring the spotlight to Google Gulp, a new type of drink that would quench your thirst for knowledge. Apparently, Google has injected a lot of creative juice into this one-day prank. This innovative and ground-breaking smart drink is presented in four web pages, with detailed explanation and preview images. It is really hard to believe that this is merely a joke when you have so much details and information. Besides, who wouldn’t want a magic drink that could make you smarter instantly?
Even though, it is a joke and it is a fictional product, but I like to keep this image for future reference. Who knows, maybe years from now we will all be drinking such smart drink.
On the other end, Google is indeed gulping the cyber world, extending its services and raising standards. Not too long after the announcement from Yahoo! regarding the expansion of its web mail storage, Google is now planning to double the storage space of its one-year-old GMail. It is apparent that there is a fierce race on web mail’s storage space. I wonder how will Hotmail respond to these competitions. Another interesting new service that came out recently is Google Ride Finder, very convenient if you travel a lot.
Okay, enough of my geeky babbles, I wish all of you had a humorous April Fool’s Day.
