If you were wondering what Google was doing Tuesday with those little balls in their logo that kept moving away from your mouse, so were a lot of people, including CBS News.
Earlier Tuesday we wrote about the Google homepage illustration (or "doodle," as Google calls these things) that's sparked so many Google searches it popped up in Google Trends. By late morning, variations of "Google balls," "Google logo" and "Google dots" took up five spots on Google Trends' top searches.
The search - about the floating, size-changing, swooping balls that make up the word "Google" on the search page - is still popular Tuesday evening, and Google itself is mostly mum on the doodle's meaning, but the following tweet appeared on Google's official Twitter page by mid-afternoon: "Boisterous doodle today. Maybe it's excited about the week ahead..."
And the Christian Science Monitor.
Says they: Changes to the traditional Google homepage logo are often an attempt to honor artists and important historical figures – or to draw attention to an event such as the Olympics. But today's Google logo – a mass of bright, bouncy colored balls – isn't obviously linked to a birthday or anniversary, and Google has remained mum on the inspiration for the change.
The New York Daily News was asking, too.
The popular search engine has unveiled its latest logo lunacy and Google-philes are getting their giggles playing with the colorful dots.
So was the Washington Post. They added: If merely for the amount of mystery surrounding it, today's "Google Doodle" is officially, already, Comic Riffs's Animation of the Day.
What about Entertainment Weekly?
Or, USA Today?
They were interested, too.
In fact, here's some links from Google News itself.
No word yet from the National Enquirer.
I will continue to monitor developments, as they occur.
