Most Irrelevant Google News Story of the Day
We know how fascinated people are by every move that Google makes. Google experiments on a daily basis. We're glad. It gives us something to do.
Sometimes, though, we think people get carried away with reporting Google news. It's like the song "Every Breath You Take" by The Police.
So here's our contribution: the most irrelevant Google news story of the day.
Google has apparently changed its "favorite icon" or favicon from an upper-case G to a lower-case G, as shown here blown up by 300 percent.
Granted, it may be a slow news day but does this story deserve play in Search Engine Roundtable, SearchEngineLand and SearchEngineWatch? If we're wrong and this is a life-changing event for you, let us know.

Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you
Ill be watching you..."

You can bet that a bunch of marketing schmucks sweated over this change for quite some time. Should it be uppercase or lowercase? Should it be green, orange, or blue? How will it affect our brand? Etc., etc. Stories like this will make them think the effort was worth while. Consider it your good deed for the day.
