Ok so that's weird. I was just showing this to my sister earlier today and noticed that there was no Listen, just Beatbox.

Naturally I was delighted that they recognised the meme ... but, talk about a race condition. I thought this was nothing new and here were are, a 48 minute old HN submission whereas I was showing my sister probably 50 minutes ago.

Slightly related, the first hit on google for "google beatbox" is translate.google.com



Don't worry; it's been there for a few days already ...


more than a week, actually...


Probably because the Google Crawler registered all "google beatbox" links leading to that page.

People have used this feature before to "fake" results, although this time it is clearly legit. It's a shame Google doesn't register hash (#) locations.
