A Google employee interviews random passersby in Times Square with a seemingly simple question. Answer: “It's where you put your search terms.” Yes, that is correct. As usual for a Google-made video, the music and production are incredibly cheesy, but the reactions from some of the interviews are good for some laffs, I suppose.
Culture Buzz A comprehensive Google Map guide to Biblical references by location. What would Jesus do? He'd Google it, obvs.
Tech Buzz This looks very cool: Google's introducing a new form of online communication called the Wave that sort of combines email, IM, updates and sharing online documents. It's hard to explain in a short space, so you're better off clicking around the links. Not to be all Next Big Thing, but this could be exactly that sort of Thing.
Tech Buzz Apparently, web address registrar giant GoDaddy is advising against people buying dot-TV domains, as the island that owns the domain — the island of Tuvalu — is actually sinking. After a bit of research (ie Google), I am not entirely sure whether the island of Tuvalu is actually sinking, but according to GoDaddy owner Bob Parsons, your .tv domains will be safe if the island goes under.
Tech Buzz Google has found its newest empire to crush: Digg. By slyly releasing a new feature that users can add to their iGoogle, called “What's Popular?” Google is using a Digg-like algorithm to determine “hot” videos, pictures and content across the web. Users can either “pop” things to rank them higher or “de-pop” them to lower them. The only thing they're missing are the Digg commenters, who truly bring brilliance to every link.
Cool project where the hands do the talking. Could you make Google with just your digits?

Those wacky Brits are at it again: a Cambridgeshire town is fighting the Google Streetview van from infiltrating their neighborhood by forming a human chain to stop the camera. But seriously guys, how will we find Waldo?
Tech Buzz The Twitter rumor du jour: Google is interested in buying. This is a little late and weak for an April Fool's joke, so there's at least a chance it's true. And Tech Crunch says the two are in “late stage” negotiations, which sounds dire.
Tech Buzz A new Google project, called Google Ventures, is ready to scoop up the most talented designers and programmers into the Googlesphere. Way to show off how much money you still have, Google!

Google's new venture capital fund is open for business! The catch is, your startup has to not be evil.
I've spent the last 10 minutes really earnestly trying to figure out what happened in 2006. Was it the Britney weight gain? I'm stumped.
Google Street View removed its picture of a vomiting British dude being consoled by his friend in a reindeer hat. But why? I loved this!
Tech Buzz Google's relaunching GrandCentral as Google Voice, a sort of all-in-one call forwarding/voicemail box/voicemail transcription service. More Google in your life, coming soon. It will filter and forward calls to your cellphone, landline or (I assume) telegraph device, wherever you are.
Culture Buzz After being beaten by the EU and Europium, a small French town called “Eu” is changing its name to improve its Google ranking. There will be a vote where residents will be allowed to choose from new names such as Ville d’Eu (Town of EU), Eu-le-Château and Eu-en-Normandie. “Ville de Boobs” also has a nice ring to it.
Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Conversely, ask a pompous question, get a pompous answer. Google knows all.
Depending on how you word things, you'll get better results from Google Suggest. The right column makes my brain hurt.
Ready to find out what you need? What you really need? Like on the deepest level possible… Google knows all. Simply google your name, and the word NEEDS, all in quotes. Whatever comes up is, well, exactly what you need. Post the answer in the comments section below. It would appear that I need: “Money for a hooker,” “a woman video,” “a haircut,” “surgery,” and “love and direction.” Five for five. Amazing! What do you need?
Tech Buzz Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, calls Twitter a “poor man's email system,” explaining, “In other words, they have aspects of an email system, but they don't have a full offering.” Say that now, Google, but soon you'll be trying to buy Twitter. I don't see Shaq on Blogspot!
