Today being Valentine's Day, Google wants to help you believe in the concept of "love" again by getting all mushy-gushy with its interactive Doodle. When you visit Google's homepage, you'll see half a dozen candy hearts inscribed with "Crush," "Mr. Right," "First Kiss," "4ever Yours," "Puppy Luv," and "Blind Date." Each one is ready to tell a story. Just click on your candy heart of choice and it will start playing a clip from public radio's podcast "This American Life." The heart flips over and plays an animation that correlates with the short story being told. Click on Mr. Right, for example, and you'll hear a woman recount how she woke up with a "heavy heart" and "huge doubt" the morning after...

If you click each colored square, they make a musical note in turn. Once you’ve clicked them all, the page breaks into song...and dance.

Google's Doodle on All Hallows' Eve (better known as Halloween) is actually a set of five Doodles you can scroll through. Scooby Doo and the Gang are obviously, as usual, hot on the trail of some mystery. "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" made its CBS network debut on Saturday, September 13, 1969 with its first episode, "What a Night for a Knight." In those earlier...

Look carefully at today's Google doodle on their homepage, or you might miss it. Yep, Google is spelled Googlle today, so the question is, why does Google have two l's today? First off, it's not because Google's gotten sloppy. And fortunately for us who can't wait for the answer, they're not going to draw out the mystery as they did earlier with their H.G. Wells series of tweets and doodles. Instead, the answer to the question "why does Google have two l's today?" is: it's birthday time (more or less). Mouse over the doodle and you'll see the message "Google's 11th birthday" pop-up. Those who were brought up on that old, late, lamented technology known as the typewriter will also recall that...
