Saturday I went to Google and on the main page there was a link to a new service - Google personals (I think that is what they called it). I clicked on it and browsed really briefly. I saw it again yesterday. Then last night it was gone, and they have no links or mention of it anywhere on their site. I even Googled it and found nothing. Where’d it go? I cleared out my history so I don’t have the link saved. I just think it’s weird that it just disappeared completely. Did anyone else see this or am I hallucinating? ---

I think you’re looking for Google Romance which was Google’s April Fools joke. Here’s the link though: [http://www.google.com/romance/](http://www.google.com/romance/) The “Tour” really gives away it’s humor. ---

But in my own defense, when I stumbled upon it late Friday night I was pretty drunk after a night of partying. So not only could I not really read straight, but obviously did not realize the humor. Thanks for filling me in! ---

Yeah now that I am reading through it, it’s pretty damn funny. When I looked at it before, not only was I blitzed, but I had just glanced at the main page. ---
