Is This the Future of Social Media?
I saw this video and found myself watching it twice. The LA Times tells us that this is not from google.
“The prankster behind Xistence, Philipp Drössler, didn’t run with the hoax for very long. He immediately tweeted a link on the bogus @googlabs account he set up pointing to The Next Web’s blog post titled “Google Xistence: We wish it was real.”
But Google gave him a metaphorical slap in the face by listing the site on its practically ubiquitous phishing list. The second- and third-most-popular browsers, Firefox and Chrome, ping Google’s list when users navigate to a Web page.
In response, Drössler wrote on the joke Twitter page: “Xistence is not a real product, and not related in any way to Google. Neither am I. Also, this was neither a scam nor a phishing attempt.”"
