With Elevendy millions of searches every day on Google, chances are
that my couple of readers must also have noticed today that they are not on Google Anymore.
They are in Kansas..
Topeka, KS to be precise.
As a Reciprocating gesture to what Topeka a few months back when the mayor of Topeka annunced that Topeka will be called Google for a month ( It was suppose to be for luring Google into chosing Topeka as one of their 1 Gigabit per second hi speed cable network Locations?), Google today decided that they will be called Topeka… For the whole of the April Fool’s day at least.
Here is a more detailed explanation from Google.
Silly Joke, thinks Techcrunch.

If “Topeka” was going to search for a city name to rebrand itself, wouldn’t it have been more inclusive and less devisive if they had chosen a city from a state that’s not so homophobic and backwards?

Neither the city of Google (Topeka)Ks. or the state of Kansas are Homophobic or backwards. Please do not think that the delusional followers of Fred Phelps of the Westburo Baptist Church represent the true beliefs of the other citizens of Kansas.
