Here’s something I picked up from the Official Google Blog.

Cupid’s algorithms

Ever been on a date and wondered “What on Earth am I doing with this person?” Or perhaps you wished there was a way that you could instantly find your perfect match, and then go on a date during which everything just went right?
Wish no more: Google Romance, a beta product currently incubating in Google Labs, uses cutting-edge personal search algorithms to help you find your soulmate, then sponsors your first Contextual Date with said soulmate-to-be in exchange for showing you highly relevant advertising that just might help Cupid’s arrow find its mark. Does it really work? Ask our internal beta testers — if you can find them, that is. Not a single one has shown up for work in days.
So why not give it a try yourself? You’ve got true love to gain, and only your faith in psychographic and contextual advertising software to lose.

Google’s neverending ways to keep the user smiling are reaching new levels. The following links are April Fool pranks over the past few years. This year’s Google Joke was particularly funny. Check them out! Each of them is ideal for office-timepass!
