advertised during the Superbowl. The ad wasn't new, but it was cute. I asked you guys on Twitter what you thought. Was it worth it for Google to spend this kind of advertising money? Most of you liked the ad and were happy to see it. Some of you thought they should be promoting other services or the Nexus One instead of Search.
