Just when you thought that Google will start to focus and close even more products, April Fools' Day comes and Google announces a long list of new initiatives.
YouTube will pick the best video uploaded to the site: "We've been thrilled with all of the diverse, creative entries we've seen so far, and we can't wait to begin the process of selecting the best video. We'll be announcing the winner in 10 years."
Google Nose goes beyond keywords and helps you identify a smell.
"Google Nose leverages new and existing technologies to offer the sharpest olfactory experience available:
* Street Sense vehicles have inhaled and indexed millions of atmospheric miles.
* Android Ambient Odor Detection collects smells via the world's most sensible mobile operating system.
* SMELLCD™ 1.8+ high-resolution compatible for precise and controlled odors."
Google Maps has a new feature: treasure mode. "Archeological analysis has confirmed that our Google Maps Street View team has indeed found one of history’s long lost relics: a treasure map belonging to the infamous pirate, William 'Captain' Kidd. The map was found on a recent expedition in the Indian Ocean, as part of a deep-water dive to expand our underwater Street View collection. Captain Kidd was rumored to have buried his treasure around the world, and tales of a long-lost treasure map have lingered for generations," informs Google.
Visit Google Maps (disable MapsGL if the experiment is enabled) and find the treasure.
