It’s the weekend so it’s time to relax. It’s time to have a little fun and stop taking things so seriously. In that light, I wanted to share some really cool “hidden tricks” today with Google Instant. Some of my team members actually shared these with me on Friday and I was so excited about it. I absolutely can’t get enough of Google’s humor. For SEM geeks, like myself, this stuff is too funny.
Below, you will see two screenshots. The first is the search engine results on Google when I type in “askew”. As you can see, Google Instant technology actually makes the page go askew for the word askew, how cool is that!
The second screenshot shows the search results for the search term “do a barrel roll”. This one is so crazy, you just have to see it for yourself. Type in “do a barrel roll” on Google Instant and the entire page does a barrel roll. Obviously, my screenshot is just a moment in time during the barrel roll process.
Bring these into work on Monday and you’ll be the hero of your SEM team. Do you know any hidden tricks with Google Instant? There just have to be more. I have not yet taken the time to search for other Google tricks, but definitely looking forward to uncovering more of them!

“let it snow” made snow flakes fall when searched around Christmas time.
Hey Ian, that’s really cool! I tried it. And showed to my siblings too. They were all amazed. Thanks for sharing!
That’s an awesome one Collabo, I’m going to try that next holiday season. 🙂 Thanks so much!
Thanks so much, Veron! You are welcome! I too was amazed when I saw these tricks on Friday.
Very cool – I had no idea!! Thanks for sharing Ian – these are fun!
Thanks so much, Morgan! You are quite welcome, I had no idea about these tricks either until some teammates pointed them out to me last week. Really neat stuff.
All the best,
Ian

The ‘do a barrell roll’ one really cracked me up. I love these little gags and funnies Google keep throwing at us every now and then. I really appreciate a company with a sense of humor. I can never imagine Microsoft doing something like a barrell roll on their webpage at our behest!
