Today sees Google hosting a visit from The Queen, and the company’s homepage “doodle” has been changed to relect the honour.
This piece in the Telegraph says that “The royal party will be shown a series of demonstrations explaining Google’s various operations from its popular search engine facility to Google Earth, where users can access detailed maps and satellite images of the planet.”
Presumably AdPlanner and Chrome’s privacy issues won’t be on the agenda, but I’m all for our monarch getting to grips with how her loyal subjects are using information these days.
To commemorate the visit, the BBC’s Today Programme also invited Sue Townsend, author of The Queen and I, to imagine Her Majesty interacting with the web – the results are highly amusing and are read here by impressionist Jan Ravens.
