Google went too far with Pac-Man Game?

Personally, it was very disturbing to use Google with Pac-Man sound constantly looping at the background. If you don’t know what I am talking about go to google.com now and see (before it expires).

I think Google’s Doodle Team went too far this time. Should have just sticked to graphic logos and not games.

Btw, Google TV is launched at this week’s I/O Conference. TechCrunch has the details here. What is Google TV for bloggers? Well, it’s another channel for you to reach out to wider audience with your ads, probably your ads can be seen on TV in the near future. And for vbloggers (video bloggers) it probably means more money since people can watch their videos on TV. More banner impressions == more money.

Update: now you can see this page at http://www.google.com/pacman/ anytime.

Auctionpus.com – Simplicity in domain auctioning

by Ades on May 10, 2010 in Links with 14 Comments

octopus.pngThis is one of the simplest domain name auction websites I have ever seen. It shows 8 auctions everyday, thus the octopus theme.

It’s a new startup that puts simplicity as the core value of their business. Normally auction sites are huge and forum-like. One of the advantage of huge sites are that, you can come the next day and see the auctions that were posted prior to that. You can also browse all the auctions and find the domain name/website that you like.

So, let’s see how people will respond to such business model in the domain auction business. What is your thoughts on this website and its business model? Does Google’s simplicity model suits auction sites?
