Guess the Google
http://grant.robinson.name/projects/guess-the-google/
Interesting game.
It will show you 20 images, and you have to guess which keyword on google image search will return those images. you have 20 seconds to guess. 10 rounds.
slow, coz it actually search for the images by a keyword and fetch them. but if you are a google freak you should try it once.
And yeah…. mine and Tarun’s score was 400. Anyone around ???

Google Web Accelerator (beta like typical google product) - google’s new addon to web OS

Mine mine mine…

Found the “guess the google” game a week back!! no fair! But if u play it long enuf .. things repeat and maybe u can get 400
As for google.. this feature wil give it all the more power. They know our mails, what news we read, what products we buy, what sites we visit and what influences us. Now all they need is an algorithm to take over the world. I’ll write one if they hire me

Unni really thinks that U got 400 by answering the repeated questions …..unni read the last line of that part of the blog……

yes unni
we just sniffed the queries it was sending to google image search. We played genuinely and got some good score of 279, but saw that high scores were some 390+. So tried some hacking/cracking…. Anyway repetetions donesnt help at all. You need some 2 secs atleast to type and it doesnt repeat things a lot.
