Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and Sunday guys! By now many of you, especially in China and Taiwan, should have seen some customized doodle on the front page of search engines like Google, Baidu, and Qihoo’s 360’s new search engine So.com. (Hey Bing, where’s yours? UPDATED: Bing’s was late, but now it has arrived, and looks great fullscreen, as pictured below).
Among all of those, we thought Baidu’s was best, with a simple game for users to to catch all the mooncakes within 30 seconds. We thought we would give them our unofficial Mid Autumn Festival “Search Engine Doodle Competition” award. (*Hands over invisible trophy to Robin Li*.)
In this Baidu doodle game, it doesn’t really matter whether you succeed or fail in grabbing all the mooncakes. I collected all of them but found myself winning nothing, no free mooncakes delivered to my house or anything! Nonetheless it is still a neat effort that put a smile on my face. And kudos to the other search engines for their designs too.
We’d like to take this chance to wish all of you a happy Mid Autumn Festival, and hopefully a restful one for all our friends in China.
Better late than never, someone at Bing turns on its Mid-Autumn doodle for Chinese users.
