Netvibes & Google Book Search’s Contribution to Halloween Spirit

Google Book Search:
Google has centralized a location for Scary Stories that were digitized as part of the Google Book Search project. “What would Halloween be without a little trick-or-treating? This year, make exploring some of these classic spooky tales part of your treat. Discover who famously uttered ‘nevermore,’ why Van Helsing was forced to behead the ‘bloofer lady’ and how Ichabod Crane met his untimely end in a tranquil glen called Sleepy Hollow [source].” Google had digitized numerous full texts of Halloween-related books such as Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Tell-Tale Heart.
NetVibes:Â
Netvibes also decided to keep up with the Halloween spirit by providing a Halloween theme. Providing this theme is another reason why I have been sticking with NetVibes as my homepage. The thought that these programmers went to the extent of keeping up with the Halloween spirit is commendable.
