Goollery goollery.org is an online gallery dedicated to collect, archive and showcase the most creative, fun and innovative Google-related projects from around the world.
It's an unofficial project led by Googlers Ji Lee and Andrew Bonventre, but also Jeanelle Mak, Francisco Hui and Karishma Sheth.
Side note: There was another Goollery project in Blogoscoped archive, wirzm.ch/goollery from 2004, a Gmail-based photo gallery written in PHP blogoscoped.com/archive/2004_1 ... |
