Google homepage hauntedhouse08 broken link / HTTP 404 error
Are you seeing this? Google has a new homepage with a link that says :
"Haunted by high energy costs? Here are some easy ways to save."
But the link is broken and brings you to a HTTP 404 error page :
"404 - Page Not Found" eh?
The link is supposed to be :
http://www.google.com/hauntedhouse08/
According to blogoscoped.com, it looks like this is working in San Francisco (and by extension probably the continental US), but not in other places like Slovakia, France, Hong Kong and Singapore here.
- I'd suppose it's interesting and news-worthy whenever there's any sort of hiccup or unusual happening with Google seeing how millions of people rely on it every day.

Yes, I have the same problem (I'm from Europe). Go to http://anonymizer.nntime.com/ and choose United States and in the empty box type www.google.com and then the link will work.

Same thing happened here in Melbourne, Australia, for about a day.
Seems to be working now.
