To celebrate Google Chrome – as you all know, a fast browser – we collaborated with Google Creative Lab, BBH NY and B-Reel to create Google Chrome Fastball – a race across the Internet.
This is the second day it’s been live and we’ve all ready had 57.000 play the game.
Here’s how you play. Your task is to help a ball through a series of linked YouTube videos. When the ball gets stuck you move it along by quickly solving a challenge. Each of these imbedded games uses web services such as Google Maps, Twitter, Google Translate, Last.fm, and Google Search, showcasing the browser’s speed as you test your own reflexes and wits.
Thanks to Google’s tweet to their 3 million followers, the traffic overloaded our servers when we launched. We’ve been telling everyone we broke YouTube, which is almost technically true..
