Google Tackles Super Bowl XLVI

  • Mashable, Friday, February 3, 2012 11:35 AM

Embracing the gridiron goings-on, Google has launched several Super Bowl-focused features and services to help fans enjoy the game. Offered through Google’s Inside Search, Game Day with Google is a specially-built site featuring a recipe search list, frequently asked football questions, information on the big game, and related media. “There’s also plenty of action outside of Google’s info hub,” Mashable reports.

“Both the New York Giants and New England Patriots will be posting exclusive and behind-the-scenes content on their respective Google+ pages.” The Giants, meanwhile, were also expected to host a pre-game hangout on Google+, this week, where fan could chat up the team. Though not alone in its ad worship, YouTube is also hosting its fifth annual YouTube Ad Blitz -- a micro-site focused solely on the Super Bowl’s run of premier commercials and marketing campaigns.

“Viewers can get an early look at some of the game’s commercials and vote for their favorites,” Mashable notes. Finally, Madonna -- who will be performing at Half Time -- is expected to release her new video for “Give Me All Your Luvin,” featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. on the Blitz channel before the game on Sunday.
