Just when you thought Google's World Cup contribution was simply displaying results, Google decides it's just not enough.
If you've been watching any World Cup matches, you'll hear the constant drone of the Vuvuzela - a horn utilised by the crowd watching a match, which is annoying at the best of times. Google has decided that we have not had enough of the Vuvuzela, and given the billions of its users the ability to hear the Vuvuzela cry again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
Go to Google Street View, and visit South Africa, pretty much where all the stadiums are, and you'll find a peculiar character - a man clutching a Vuvuzela. Click on this little man, and you'l feel as if you were in South Africa right this second. If that's not enough, take a visit to YouTube (another Google toy), and make use of its Vuvuzela button as often as you wish.
Yes, Google has gone football mad, and only evident in its recent logo change to: “Goooooooal!â€. Just goes to show how far a giant international company is willing to go to connect with massive trends.
