Don't Be A Fool

On March 1st of this year, Topeka, KS unofficially renamed itself Google, KS for the month of March. The purpose was to attract Google to the Capital City as the first test city of the new fiber optics experiment of Google. Today, Google has renamed itself Topeka, but just for today.

According to Google's blog
Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.

We didn’t reach this decision lightly; after all, we had a fair amount of brand equity tied up in our old name. But the more we surfed around (the former) Topeka’s municipal website, the more kinship we felt with this fine city at the edge of the Great Plains.

In fact, Topeka Google Mayor Bill Bunten expressed it best: “Don’t be fooled. Even Google recognizes that all roads lead to Kansas, not just yellow brick ones.”

DebtFree4ever.NET is proud to be in Topeka err, Google, KS, even if only for another 5 months.
