Google buried a hilarious Easter Egg in its big announcement
Google's got some big news today! The company's reorganizing under a new name: "Hooli."
Okay, not quite - that's the name of the ... Google-esque company in HBO show "Silicon Valley." The new name for the company that owns Google is "Alphabet."
HBO
Here's how to do it:
- Go to abc.xyz, the new Google-owned site that has the announcement from Google co-owners Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
- Search for the phrase "drone delivery effort."
- Click the period after that phrase.
- Voila!
It's not clear if Google co-founder Larry Page is cool with the next logical comparative leap - to power-obsessed, hyper-competitive Hooli CEO Gavin Belson, played by actor Matthew Brandon Ross - or if Page has just never seen the show, but we're guessing this is just Google's attempt to play light-hearted on some relatively heavy financial news.
Either way, it's always nice to see multibillion-dollar public companies add some personality, however goofy, to boring corporate restructuring. And it makes us pine for the next season of "Silicon Valley" all the more.
