Citizen Journalist: Google fooled users on April Fools' Day through Google Nose

Apr-01-2013, Monday:

Google is smart! It is interesting to know how Google fooled users through Google Nose Beta today, the April Fool's day. The Citizen Journalist could not realize that Google is fooling through the link to Google Nose on its home page.

When you click on the link to Google Nose, it will take you to another page where it is written 'Smalling is believing!' with a button 'Try Google Nose Beta' below it. The photograph of the lady smelling a smartphone strengthens your belief, and you click the button.

Clicking the 'Try Google Nose Beta' button would take you to search results for some random word with smelling option on right side. You click Smell button, then it shows the message 'Transmitting scent'.

When it is 100% complete, it shows the message, 'Bring your nose as close as you can to the screen and press Enter.  Need help?'. Obviously Google has fooled you.

The moment you click the link 'Need Help' it is more interesting to see the messages on help page. One of the funniest message is says 'Refrain from licking or biting your screen'.

It was such a prank to see that Google was showing results on how Success smells in some of the search results!!

Google is smart and fooled Googlers in a smart way.
