In the last blogpost, I did a fun and exciting blog post on album covers and Google street view, this time round I’m doing the same, but famous film locations.
Album Band Covers and Google Street View
In recent blog posts I’ve reviewed services or spoken about software, but in this post, I feel of doing a ‘fun Friday’ blogpost.
Many album covers have been set on the streets of the UK and I thought it would be fascinating viewing these streets using Google Street Views
5 things you didn’t know about Google!
Google Doodle
1. Google’s first doodle was quite straight forward and no one probably expected them to become so popular and eventually be enjoyed and shared worldwide on certain anniversaries and events. This is the first Google Doodle:
First Tweet
2. Google’s first Tweet was hugely geeky as you would expect! It was sent on February 26th 2009 and it read as follows:
Google Fresh Possible Algorithmic Variables
As a lot of you will know the big Buzz (pun intended) in the Google world is about this Google Freshness update or the “mint” update. Now this won’t affect all of you, but a lot of Webmasters in the sports, coupon and tech industries must be having kittens right about now, that highly authoritative page they had could be rendered useless simply by its age which may have previously been of benefit.
What does Google Fresh Want?
Whilst a lot of this article is subject to testing and is currently purely speculative, we have come up with some ideas as to what Google will be looking at to evaluate a page’s freshness and the worrying fact is that a lot of these things seem very easily cheatable.

On Thursday November 3rd we got a taste of Google’s playful side when the search term “do a barrel roll” resulted in Google’s search screen rotating by 360 degrees, bringing a smile to millions everywhere.
The barrel trick is however not Google’s only trick that can be found. In fact there are nine of them altogether. The best thing is, you can access them now for instant laughs to brighten up your day.
So without further ado, let’s bring those smiles to play:
Gravity
1. Using the search term “Google Gravity” followed by pressing “I’m feeling lucky”, you are greeted by the entire Google search page falling to your feet.
Mentalplex
2. This trick has been around since it started as an April fools joke in 2000 and still works brilliantly if you want to be entertained or spin your friends and family out. Type “google.com/mentalplex” into your URL bar and take it from there!
