Late last week, Google launched its first ever interactive doodle, this one celebrating 30 years of Pac-Man. There was a good deal of media coverage surrounding the event, even more than Google expected.
“We’ve been overwhelmed, but not surprised, by the success of our 30th anniversary Pac-Man doodle,” said Google vice president of search products and user experience Marissa Mayer in a blog post.
RescueTime, which makes productivity tracking and optimization software, said on its blog after doing some research that of roughly 11,000 users they monitored, the web surfers spent an average of 36 seconds more on Google.com during the day. Multiplying that by the average hourly rate of $25, it was estimated that $120 million was lost in workday productivity.
The doodle is still playable at google.com/pacman/ for those that want to burn even more workday productivity.
