Google’s “Story of Send”

I stumbled across this at work today: Google’s “Story of Send”.
In “Story of Send” Google follows the path of an email message as it leaves your home computer, travels to your ISP, ends up inside Google’s data centers and is finally delivered to the recipient. In cute little animations and videos Google talks about various aspects of their “green” initiatives and innovations in that area.
Some stuff was really news to me and it’s quite interesting to get an insight into areas that are strictly off-limits to the general public and even the press.
Go ahead and click yourself through the 9 screens – I’m sure you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I was.
