New Google Doodle (22/03/05) World Water Day

Laurent Van Winckel · 03-22-2005, 06:57 AM

Hey,
Yeaaa again a new google doodle. Today is World Water Day.
If you click on the logo on Google, you'll see a list of sites about it.
The logo is nice but I could be better I think
Here's the logo =)

*Mmm it kinda pisses me off that the image doesn't appear on the topic..*

(May I suggest linking to the image instead, so viewers can simply click the link

-ed.)

Nice find Laurent!
Now that is a very cool Google logo!
Maybe someday we can have *images* again, I enjoyed having them in my post as well.

I saw the new logo too. I hadn't even heard of World Water Day until now

You do know why we don't allow hotlinking of images, right?

I surely know why, because it steals bandwidth from which it came from, say you have a 100k image and 1000 people check it out, that's 100mb's gone without actually visiting their site. I will personally not hotlink again. I'm living and learning.

Er....okay...

I heard of this cool new image-hosting service called imageshack and they work wonders and you don't have to worry about bandwidth.

That's only part of the reason. The other part is the risk of people posting obscene images. We'll be fine just linking to the images, rather than posting them directly.
