Dear Google Friends,

It's Spring and Google is busting out all over. From wireless phones to college campuses, Google is on the move.


Is That Your Final Answer??? Try the Google Quiz

Fact-finders and all ye who seek the truth: test the limits of your search skills by taking the Google Quiz at www.google.com/googlequiz.html. Use the Google search box to find the answers to a set of 5 questions, and you just may win a Google goodie.


Wireless Google? It's a WAP: Google Goes Mobile

Now you can Google-on-the-go with our new wireless search engine. It's the only search engine that translates all HTML web pages into text you can read on your WAP mobile telephone. That means you can search the entire web, not just special WAP formatted pages, and get results you can read. Try it by typing "Google" into your phone's micro-browser.


Practice Safer Search with Google SafeSearch

You asked for a Google search that filters out adult-themed content pages--now you've got one. Try our optional Google SafeSearch feature by clicking on the SafeSearch link at the top of your search results. SafeSearch stays active from search to search unless you click on it again to turn it off.


Add Your Campus to Our University Searches

Find information specific to your favorite college using our University searches at www.google.com/universities.html. Within a few days, you'll be able to nominate your favorite campus to our growing list of University searches. Keep an eye out for the home page link directly to the nomination page. Don't forget to be true to your school.


Our Google Doodle

Thanks to all of you who sent feedback on our home page Google Doodle. We received so many positive responses that even the alien got a raise. Look for more Doodles in the future.


Wow! We Won Webbies

Thousands of Internet users took to the polls over the last month. When the results came in, Google had won a "People's Voice Webby Award" as well as the Webby for Best Technical Achievement. Google team members accepted the award in Google hockey jerseys while wearing in-line skates. For those of you who spoke up on our behalf, we include the complete text of Larry and Sergey's acceptance speech:

"We love you, Google Users!"


Larry, Sergey and the Google Team.
