google xistance

2010-01-24 / confusion on line.

a web service that offers an effortless web 2.0 experience - automated status updates, image uploads and blog posts to free up time for the user. obviously, this was a fake, but it attracted a crowd of over 10,000 people on the day it was launched and lead to a lively discussion on twitter and various blogs. 6 hours after the launch, the page googlexistence.com was marked as a phishing site by google itself, leading to an early, but satisfying end of the project.
