I know a conspiracy when I see one. Curious that today, “Google Browser Download Chrome” in all its grammatical horror is one of the top searched terms today on Google Trends. Interesting that Google is releasing the new browser today and, get this, they also control Google Trends. Could this possibly all be on the up and up or another manipulation of Google Trends this time from the inside?
True, Google is releasing their new browser today. But, shockingly, people care and people that search on Google are looking for it. It’s all a bit too “cozy” for my taste. You can get the new browser here, but just know that it’s not available until at least 2pm EDT. Until then, you can be annoyed by following the link and finding yourself right back at the Google homepage (as I did 8 times). Good fun.
Assuming this isn’t a conspiracy, and I’ll give Google the benefit of the doubt for a minute, let’s look at their true intentions. If they’re releasing a new product, then they must not be making enough money with search. So, in an effort to save Google, please download Chrome today. Think of it like this past weekend’s Jerry Lewis telethon. Surely, Google needs all the help it can get. So, get online and save the search behemoth before it has to buy another YouTube for $1.65 B just to make ends meet and we risk losing our favorite search engine.
