I guess the hint wasn’t good enough.
I’m sure this will be fixed in an hour or two, which may or may not break the link, but here it is anyway :)
Edit: They pulled the article about half an hour later.

I happened across a wonderful surprise tonight as I went to fetch something using Google’s Image Search. Right there on the front page, sat an invitation to Explore images using Google Image Swirl.
Almost Ready
Google talked about this back in mid-november and even had a rocky preview available for users to try out. Afterwards it was [...]

My inbox had a nice surprise for me tonight; Google floated a Christmas present to Gmail users, and it was nice. I don’t mean like closed-beta nice, or anything of the sort — their gift is $20 million in charity to a laundry-list of both national and international organizations.
See the gift here.
When Google says everyone, [...]

It seems they’ll never learn. Yesterday, this pop-up introduced itself to Facebook users across the globe, and it wasn’t to the warmest of welcomes, either. Out of the millions of users who see this pop-up, roughly half can be expected to actually follow through with the indoctrination into new privacy features, while the rest will [...]

Yes, they’ve finally done it. After months of talk about incorporating the mounds of real-time data to which Google has access, they’re finally piping it all into their own search results. The sources they listed are some pretty big names: Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, MySpace, and Jaiku, among others — and that’s not counting the major [...]

Google’s been tailoring search results for quite some time now, and their new Web History, a considerable upgrade to the venerable Search History, has made far deeper personalization a reality.

It’s as easy as entering two numbers in your internet connection settings. The payoff is minimal, but I’m quite happy to be using Google’s servers instead of Comcast’s.
 

Yep, completely and utterly missing. It’s been the better part of a day without the much-maligned pile of fail feature that Twitter’s massive ego of a CEO insisted we’d all grow to love — and they’ve not said a word about it. Unfortunately, because of their noted silence on the matter, the odds are about [...]

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted An Open Letter from Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook’s official blog. Aside from the hilariously redundant title of the post, there’s not too much fun stuff in this one — but it does put some final affirmation to the long-run rumors.
The main point of the release:
The plan we’ve come [...]

Google recently (within the last couple of days) went wide with selective testing of their experimental new redesign — meaning only one in thousands of users would see the new interface at all. Some of those users have been good enough to rifle through their cookies afterwards.
Notice Anything?
It’s not a huge difference, but it’s noticeable [...]
