Not only was Google the talk of Topeka today, but Topeka the talk of Google as well. I am so excited that Google has noticed our efforts to get their attention and actually renamed their company for an entire day. It may be an April fool's joke but it is a funny one that means a whole lot to this city.
When Mayor Bill Bunten named Topeka Google, Kansas for the month of March, he was criticized by people from all over the world. Now it just goes to show that being a little unorthodox pays off once in awhile, he got their attention! Now Topeka may have a chance at being the test site for Google's new higher speed internet. Google’s spokesperson Andrew Pederson says that their April fool’s joke has nothing to do with who they choose as their test site, but I still think it is a positive step in the right direction!
