The web is what you make it

Here is a clever video for Google:

The video tells the story of G. Rajendran, an artist from Southern India who used Google AdWords to revive the dying art form Tanjore, becoming a successful business man in the process. 

Here is a video for Google Maps:

A giant cube replica of New York city was placed inside a gyroscope to show how Google Maps can provide live traffic updates, bus maps and GPS navigation.  All with an extremely cool low-fi, Rube-Goldbergesque quality.

Google SLAM dunk

Here are some spots from the Google Demo slam series, testing Google products in interesting ways:

Chubby Bunny:

These kids have taken the Chubby Bunny game onto another level as they test their marshmellow-stuffed mouths using the Google mobile search app to see if each participant is enunciating Chubby Bunny well enough.

Extra Spicy:

Using Google Translate, these girls phone order two sides of batsmati rice, fish curry and six samosas.  In Hindi.  

Realtime Karaoke:

These rockers use Google search's realtime Twitter search feed to create an impromtu song around the search term "babe."

Route 66:

Using Google Street View, these virtual roadtrippers project their journey along historic route 66.  Some nice touches include the crew actually stopping at a street-view red light and pulling over for burgers.

Rushmore:

Using Google Goggles, they use the image search app to determine if Google's technology could recognize a humanized mini-replica of Mount Rushmore.
