Google does dating

What’s the date again today?

Google Romance is a place where you can post all types of romantic information and, using our Soulmate Search, get back search results that could, in theory, include the love of your life. Then we’ll send you both on a Contextual DateTM, which we’ll pay for while delivering to you relevant ads that we and our advertising partners think will help produce the dating results you’re looking for.

You see that? The power of Google text ads to help you get the results you’re hoping for. Take the guided tour before the service is taken down.

    April Fools Joke?

    i’d say it is safe to assume that this is indeed an april fools joke.

    Google Error – Profile Upload Rejected

    You gave it your best shot, but things don’t always turn out how you expected. This is because you either:

    1. Fell for our April Fool’s joke, in which case ha ha, wasn’t that amusing and harmless and mostly in good taste and not all psychologically damaging under various and sundry aspects of contemporary tort law, please don’t sue us; or

    2. Are genuinely enjoying, or least momentarily tolerating, our April Fool’s joke and wanted to surf your way into its every last nook and cranny, in which case

    as jake pointed out, if you clicked on the upload your profile link, you get redirrected to a 404 page that explains the joke.
    Come on, just by the line
    “Post multiple profiles with a bulk upload file, you sleaze” that has to be a joke.

    anyway, i see no reason why this would get taken down, the past april fools jokes are still up;

    what i really want to know is will gmail get anything for its 2nd birthday?

  6. Derek says:

    it looks like the page is still up. earlier today after i had posted the link it seemed to had gone down for a little bit.

    steve, i’m with you. i’m hoping that gmail received some new updates. i heard the latest features include something along the line of html tables and improved smilies. personally, i could do without the smilies. unfortunately, they seem like popular items for everyone else.

  7. steve says:

    i havent heard anything concerte about the new features gmail may or may not be getting, but i’ve put together some things i’d like.
    like the new google calender feature that may or may not be in the works, better html formating i guess would have to come sooner or later, it’ll be hard for google to top the infinate storage they gave gmail last year, but, this is google, so anything is possible.

    and i am totally with you on the smilies, i hate them to death.

  8. steve says:

    could this be gmail’s birthday gift?

    new google talk?

  9. Derek says:

    i doubt it. i consider gtalk to be completely different from the actual gmail service. it has nothing much to do with any sending of or receiving mail.

  10. steve says:

    true, but google intergrated all of that a little while ago.
    i dont know i found that this morning, it looks like it was released yesterday.
    maybe cause april 1st was a saturday, lots of things didnt happen. i know of a few sites that usually do things for it, but didnt this year.
    so maybe tomorrow (monday) something will come.
