二:Google 史上第一則 Twitter 貼文是在 2009 年二月發出。那則訊息有以下內容。以防你不熟悉電腦二進位語言,那則推文是寫:「好手氣。」
Number one: Ironically, the infamous "I'm Feeling Lucky" button on the Google homepage is almost never used by visitors to the site. But, in focus studies, it was found that removing the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button greatly upset users. Ever since, the button has remained firmly on the Google homepage.
一:諷刺地是,在 Google 首頁上臭名遠播的「好手氣」鈕幾乎從未被到訪網站的訪客使用過。然而,在注意力研究中,發現撤掉好手氣鈕大大造成使用者困擾。從那之後,好手氣鈕就安穩地留在 Google 首頁上了。
