Google Nose Beta Is Google's April Fool Prank
Google maintains the tradition of fooling people on April fool's day and 'Google Nose Beta' is Google's this year's offering for all the fools. Google's homepage invites the users to try out their new service with a message "New! What’s that smell? Find out with #-Link-Snipped-#". Upon clicking the link, you'd be taken to Google Nose Hompage that says "Smelling Is Believing" (seriously?). The whole page takes you through the various advancements in technology that Google has discovered. Here's what it says -
Job nice done, Google. We love the seriousness with which you create these April Fool pranks!
...and then shows off this video -
- Coming to your senses: Go beyond type, talk and touch for a new notation of sensation.
- Your internet sommelier: Expertly curated Knowledge Panels pair images, descriptions and aromas.
- Take a wiff: The Google Aromabase - 15 M+ scentibytes.
- Don't ask, don't smell: For when you're wary of your query - SafeSearch included.
Hitting the 'Try Google Nose Beta' button will take you to random search results pages viz. 'Garlic Smell', 'Unattended litter box', 'Waffle', 'Campsite' and random search results.
- Google NoseBETA leverages new and existing technologies to offer the sharpest olfactory experience available:
- Street Sense vehicles have inhaled and indexed millions of atmospheric miles.
- Android Ambient Odour Detection collects smells via the world's most sensible mobile operating system.
- SMELLCDâ„¢ 1.8+ high-resolution compatible for precise and controlled odours.
Job nice done, Google. We love the seriousness with which you create these April Fool pranks!

Kaustubh KatdareGoogle's going ahead with announcement of YouTube shutdown (another April Fool's joke) and now announcing 'Gmail Blue' (because the brown was boring?). Google's video (below) shows that the Gmail Blue technology took 6 years to develop. Gmail Blue offers everything 'blue' in color - right from the text, to text editor control buttons, the overall interface etc.
Seriously Google? 😕 -
