Google Launches ‘Google Gulp’ Beta

Posted April 1, 2005, 7:31 p.m.

Today, the first day of April, Google has announced that it is launching the Google Gulp limited-release thirst-quenching beta. According to Google:

“ . . . Our mission is to organize the world’s information and make it useful and accessible to our users. But any piece of information’s usefulness derives, to a depressing degree, from the cognitive ability of the user who’s using it. That’s why we’re pleased to announce Google Gulp (BETA)™ with Auto-Drink™ (LIMITED RELEASE), a line of “smart drinks” designed to maximize your surfing efficiency by making you more intelligent, and less thirsty.”

Scott Bradford is a writer and technologist who has been putting his opinions online since 1995. He believes in three inviolable human rights: life, liberty, and property.
