Google employee Udi Manber (who bears the awesome title “VP of Engineering and Cartoons”) has written a blog post about a new search caption challenge called “What’s the Search”? To play the game, you come up with a caption that goes with a cartoon depicting an unusual Google Search situation.
There are many of these cartoons, so if the first one you see when you go to What’s the Search? doesn’t inspire you, just refresh the page. Google commissioned the cartoons, approaching Matthew Diffee, Emily Flake, Damien Jay, Christoph Niemann, Danny Shanahan, Jim Woodring, and other artists.
Once you submit your caption, you can ask other people to vote for it by sending them a direct link. The caption with the most votes is the first one to appear under the cartoon.
