Google Transit

Google transit is something new similar to that of Google maps, Google local.

One of the best things about working at Google is a policy known as "20 percent time," which you can read about on our jobs page or in this post. Having the freedom to pursue projects during 20 percent of our work week means engineers can pursue a breadth of unique and interesting ideas without having to wait for anyone else.
Souce: Google Blogs

They have experimented on locale travel policies and launched a tool by which commuters can easily access schedule of public tranasport and plan their short trips and save money and time as they provide you cost of driving. Currently they only offer transit planning for the city of Portland.

I came across this while I was browsing something else :

http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/why_use.html
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/
This one is strange, everything is in "hacker speak", and all the links work and keep that same encoding of the words...

http://www.google.com/3.html
This one is just old. It makes reference to indexing 3 billion pages. Rumor has it they are way passed that number.

http://www.google.com/lucky.html
Reminiscent of the old google, I'm not really sure what this one is.

http://www.google.com/default.reg
http://www.google.com/google_rsearch.reg
These two are just strange because they are registry files for internet explorer settings. I wouldn't expect to see that in the google root directory.

http://www.google.com/ig/currentcomm/current_links_module.html
This one is only interesting because of the reference to the online file backup account...

http://www.google.com/ig/current
there was news a while ago that google are allowing companies to make customized versions of the personalized home page for use by customers and employees
This is nothing more than a hosted home page for the employees/customers of http://www.currentgroup.com/ (an ISP specializing in BoPL)

http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=km&tab=di&ie=UTF-8
This is another interesting encoding of the google page

http://www.google.com/sitemap.xml
Maybe this isn't a big deal, but I was surprised to see this xml sitemap in their root.

http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.xul2
I have never seen this before, so I thought it was strange. Looks like it is for a mobile device or something...

http://www.google.com/ie_rsearch.html
This one looks like what shows up in the IE sidebar at times. Maybe thats what the above one was for too?

http://code.google.com/webstats/2005-12/elements.html
If you like numbers, I just thought this was an interesting break-down of the pages they index and elements of those pages.

These don't really do anything, just interesting or strange pages I found.

very odd.

here's another cool one:
googlex.jayssite.com
it's just a cool variation of google. it works basically the same

Here, have a search as follows :

Google Rotated... it's another way to look at search.

Google Rotated (blog.outer-court.com/rotated/) shows you the normal,actual Google (with all of its functionalities)... except that everything'srotated 180 °. Including the Google homepage, the search results, andeven the web pages you click on in the results. When people visitGoogle Rotated they're usually either trying to adjust their monitor, orbend their neck leftwards.

This way to browse Google need the Internet Explorer browser, so skip this if you're using Firefox or any browser other than Internet Explorer.

Google Mini. Small, but fun!

Mini Google (blog.outer-court.com/mini.html), on the other hand, doesn'tmake you bend your neck. Then again, it may make you move yourface really, really close to the screen... `cause it's tiny. About the size ofyour thumbnail. Good luck searching for something with Mini Google,and good luck hitting on a search result page ­ as a bonus, if youmanaged to do that the page you clicked on will be mini too!

This way to browse Google need the InternetExplorer browser, so skip this if you're using Firefox or any browser other than Internet Explorer.
