Hmm. Nice trick . But I don't know why - call me old-fashioned - I don't trust sites that use scripts like that. I wondered how the TopMasala site could pull such an elaborate stunt, and my first impression was that they somehow copied the Google code. Google uses Python for their engine implementation, by the way. But on a second thought, I found a much easier way to do it...

Google provides a small search box for Websites that want to offer their visitors a Web-search functionality. The code for this search box is, for all intents and purposes, the same one used for the Mother Google Site. You don't actually get to see the code since you only use the interface, but you don't really have to. I think that the TopMasala site simply created a new interface - which is really simple and totally legal - around the Google-provided search box.

But it's not that big a deal, really. I mean, you're only gonna be at the Google Homepage for 2 seconds until you find the thing you were searching for. So I came up with a better use for this service...

Just enter your name, id, or text you want to googlize, i.e. get it in a similar font and style to the ones Google uses. It will be output as a JPG or GIF file, which you can use elsewhere. I think that might be a nice trick, too.

Cute I suppose, but your just generating traffic for another site,
and adding another step for your surfing Me personally, I use
the google toolbar, so I never see the homepage anymore

Yeah Virii, it's another step. And personally, I HATE other steps, since I'm so freakishly lazy. But I suppose this Website is not meant as a permanent thing, it's just - like you said - cute. Some sort of an entertaining trick.

But about them bringing Google more traffic?? Lol, it's like an indian teaching Budha about Nirvana.

Isn't that what it's supposed to do? Just output your name in the Google logo's fonts? I couldn't try it because the input box doesn't work for me... I get that text mouse icon (the I or ][ icon) when I hover over the text box, but I can't click on it to select it.

I have the same problem. I'm using firefox. But I clicked on make to see what happens and it's quite obvious. Just use this link:



This will give you a page with my name on it. Just replace Abhiram with whatever you want.

It's kind of fun, but personally, I don't like home pages . I prefer my browser to open up with a blank page.
