Google Nose BETA the olfactory research functionality

On this early month (April 2013) Google offers you to discover the new functionality "Google Nose", a new feature in beta olfactory research. April fools of course!

With Google everything is possible, especially when it comes to trick users to April 1st.
It has been discovered for example that YouTube announced yesterday that it closed by showing the top 10 best videos posted during the eight years of existence of the platform. This time it is the Google search engine which makes us his own with a new feature called "Nose" which is presented as an olfactory research in beta! With a small video well mounted, a dedicated web page, and some almost believable explanations, Google almost succeeds in making us believe that it will soon be possible to smell inside Egyptian tombs or the delicate fragrance of a cabin car. With vehicles Street Sense, the search engine could identify millions of different odors around the world. That's what we call an April Fool's joke on Google!

Check out Google Nose, for instance. �Smelling is believing�.

YouTube: An April Fool's announces closure

Will YouTube close by showing the top 10 best videos posted during the 8 years of existence of the platform?

When Salar Kamangar, YouTube CEO, announces the closure of the site after 8 years of loyal service, that is realy surprising.
But When we look at the schedule, we realize that this surprise is unfounded, since it is obviously an April Fool's joke! Indeed, the video above shows the closure of YouTube, which is the preferred social network for young people, but also the launch of a competition for the occasion. It is plain to designate the top 10 videos posted, and the jury will release its verdict in 10 years ... So this is basically a good marketing strategy for the video sharing site, which benefits from April 1st to send a notice to users worldwide.
