Last night I was checking referral data for my site the last few days. Noticed two search terms that were leading to increased referrals were “DD Sakura” and “Dollfie Dream Sakura” – so being the curious person I am decided to Google those to see where I fell in the search results.
I pull up Google homepage, and to my surprise I noticed that now a background appears. It also looked like you had the option to change the background to some approved images as well. But what really caught my attention was the option to upload your own backgrounds. So I decided to play around with it using an image of my Rin Tohsaka Dollfie Dream =3
As far as the decision to include background images, the move seems a bit…Bing-ish…to me, but certainly nice feature. I am interested to see if this feature will be a permanent addition to Google or if its just a test.
Have you tried it out yet? What do you think of it? Do you like it or not? And please, feel free to share links to your custom Google homepages. Interested to see what others are doing too!
If you would like this wonderful pic of Rin for your Google homepage, its available for download here.
Wow, that’s pretty nice! Too bad I use FF more >_< Oh wait, is this chrome?
Actually, Google will do this on all browsers. But you have to be signed into your google account in order for it to take effect.
