Google goes l337

December 22nd, 2006

For those who aren’t aware, l337, l33t or leet is a term (derived from elite) used primarily in online gaming in reference to someone who is (or believes they are) superior to others. There’s also a language that’s sprung up around this, also referred to as leet, where numbers that kind of look like the letters replace the letters in words. i.e. ‘A’ is replaced with a ‘4′, for more info on this you can look at the wikipedia entry on leet-speak. So where does Google fit into this? Well, they’ve put out an interface for people that speak / read leet. Take a look at their leet interface here.
