avataring the google

The online derivitave of jumping the shark or nuking the fridge, due to Google launching a 3D avatar world on July 8th, 2008 on lively dot com.

a quote from the engineering manager:
"Of course, you can chat with each other, and you can also interact through animated actions. In our user research, we’ve been amazed at how much more poignant it is to receive an animated hug than seeing the text “hug”."

Seriously, if they could just stick to searches and not worry about hugs so much...
tommertron on Wednesday July 09 @ 08:39AM - The shark has officially been jumped at Google.

Anonymous Coward on Wednesday July 09 @ 09:01AM - It's no longer refered to as "jumping the shark"; the prefered term is now "avataring the Google".

Google

An unnecessary search engine powered by Yahoo!. Since both Yahoo! and Google search engines turn up the exact same results, it's a wonder why people are amazed at its power. They think it's some revolutionary search engine that isn't and never will be matched. Yet Yahoo! came first, and does the exact same shit. So Google definitely is nothing special.
Google = Yahoo!

Google University

The school of choice for self described experts who make ridiculous claims and attempt to back them up with "evidence" gleaned from google searches. Signs attendance include links to various fringe websites, blogs, and media outlets well known for twisting facts to suit the position of the writer(s). Other signs include lack of credible evidence (or inclusion of anecdotal evidence) , the writer/blogger thinking they understand science better than scientists, and talk of government conspiracies.
"Other than the provided bullshit from google searches links, the best evidence available is the anecdotal evidence provided by interviews with blank, blank, and blank. The government, doctors, scientists, corporations don't want you to know this because it will cost them money, power, legitimacy. I have A degree from Google University many years of experience in dealing with this issue. Tell your friends, this conspiracy to hide the truth must stop!"
