I also intended the 4.1 rev number (which isn’t actually on the GoogleCircles site) as a hint: 4.1.06 is the US way of denoting the date.

Now although Google Circles is not a real website, its premise is very much real. This type of thing does indeed happen.

For those who are wondering if Google Circles is for real, click â€œTerms Of Serviceâ€ at the bottom. Then also click â€œfull explanationâ€ for more info, or just go here: http://www.googlecircles.com/explanation.php Nice prank! It had me wondering for a while (but confused about what good this site was). The Google login information at the top of the page is simply an iframe with Google news loaded in it.

Brian, try clicking on WhiteHouse.gov or NPR.org. Then check the rev number (4.1) again…
