Goooops!

Yesterday I was "googling" for sound files from Shrek quotes. I was not logged in anywhere. As soon as I clicked on YouTube, right in the "recommended for you" section there were multiple videos of the Shrek Musical. I honestly would hardly have noticed it if it wasn't for this class. Some people "follow" celebrities, etc. on Twitter, I guess I must be special since Google "follows" me :).

Also, this week I saw a news special on BBC about  Google. I though I'd share this story since it's related to the whole Google theme. The report talks about the consequences that are faced by a town called Sunrise, FL, after Google by mistake removes it from its maps. I've heard something similar about Google "creating" a town on the map where in reality it did not exist. This time the mistake is done by removing a whole town from the map for a month.  If you would like to check a full report, click on the link below.
