An excerpt from their Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I switch to Google TiSP?
- It’s good for you. Your FREE TiSP service includes a Google Toolbar-based analysis of your dietary habits and genetic predispositions, along with recommendations for healthier living.
How can Google offer this service for free?
We believe that all users deserve free, fast and sanitary online access. To offset the cost of providing the TiSP service, we use information gathered by discreet DNA sequencing of your personal bodily output to display online ads that are contextually relevant to your culinary preferences, current health status and likelihood of developing particular medical conditions going forward. Google also offers premium levels of service for a monthly fee (see below).
Note: We take your privacy very seriously. So we treat all TiSP users’ waste-related personal information with tremendous discretion, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
They also have an install guide with step-by-step instructions - with pictures and everything.
In other Google news; they also added a new feature to Gmail that they call Gmail Paper. I think this is a great feature - I’ve always wanted to hold my e-mails in my hand. An excerpt from their page:
But what about the environment?
Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.

April Fools, everybody. That John Chow “I have sold my company” entry was classic link bait. At least 4 of the forums I check out daily were abuzz about that. LOL.

It was a good (yet very expected) April Fools joke from Google, John Chows was too unbelievable, no way he was going to walk away from his TTZ Media Company.

Good thing Google’s Gmail Paper is an April Fool’s joke. Man, could you imagine someone getting their hands on your package! Yikes!
Shine on,

Hannes Johnson // Apr 2, 2007 at 7:34 pm

Hello Hannes,
I loved this one! I wonder how many people truly did fall for it, because you know that there were some out there that did! Toilet ISP! That was a good one!
To Your Success!

Wireless broadband service from Google isn’t that surprising. Google’s acquisitions of dark fiber and other moves in the ISP field, indicate their interest in the market. There is some truth in every joke, and high-speed Internet service from Google is already available in same places. So more to come?
