Google Tracking Frequent Users

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-are-the-illuminati dept.

BrianGa writes "According to this article, Google has started placing a counter on its home page for a small number of its most frequent users. Most Google users do not have it, but a select few now have a counter that notes the actual number of searches made. For the curious, an explanatory page linked to the counter reveals that this is a test, or limited-sample experiment of a new search counting feature."

    ... that you must be new here! I therefore offer you this PRICELESS series of rhyming haikus that will acquaint you to /. faster than an unladen African swallow:

    1. First post! is better
    than a beowulf cluster, but
    does it run linux?

    2. Bittorrent pr0n shared,
    but rights of the goatse guy
    are belong to us!

    3. I A N A L,
    But Microsoft and SCO says:
    "This is Chewbacca."

    4. Yet in other news,
    polls show insensitive clods
    are from America.

    5. Natalie Portman,
    both naked and petrified,
    covered with hot grits!

    6. ?

    7. In Soviet Russia,
    overlords, for one, welcome
    Cowboyneal's profits!

    Comprehende now? Welcome to /.!
