Google unveils 'Solve for X' website, hints at TED-like think tank
- timinman 15y agoIf it is Google, why doesn't it look like Google? Why is it 'wesolveforx', and not solveforx.google.com. Why PHP? Why do Whois records say the site belongs to: Registrant: TBA Global, LLC 535 N. Brand Blvd suite 800 Glendale, CA 91203 US Domain Name: THINKBELIEVEACT.COM
- dustingetz 15y agoTBA Global is a marketing agency.
- marshallp 15y agorichard devaul, who works in x lab confirmed wesolveforx on google+. However, this site looks like a ted style conference and not actually what happens at x lab.
- turing 15y agoThe Whois record for wesolveforx.com shows Google as the registrant (http://www.whois.net/whois/wesolveforx.com http://www.whois.net/whois/wesolveforx.com). TBA is a marketing agency that Google is (presumably) working with.

- DrCatbox 15y agoAnd here I was thinking that google stepped up its advertising games by offering something like recaptcha but for ads. No paywall, just ad-wall, an ad urging you to type the words "the product X is the best"/"X will grow your...muscles" before you can access the content.
- rachelbythebay 15y agoWas it HTTP code 402, "payment required"? If so, look out. There may be more ahead.
