Geek proposes on Google Streetview
GOOGLE GEEK Michael Weiss-Malik has had a go at proposing to his partner for a second time on Google Street View.
Weiss-Malik drew a sign with the phrase "Proposal 2.0 Marry me Leslie".
It took a bit of doing, and some insider information, to make sure that Weiss-Malik was in the right place and right time on Charleston Road when the Google Street View car was passing. Basically this is about as romantic as a news story involving a Google engineer can get.
We are intrigued, however, as to why Weiss-Malik wrote proposal 2.0 on the sign. We had assumed that he had a go before and failed and several point releases on the proposal later he still had no joy.
But according to his site Weiss-Malik said that proposal 1.0 had been accepted, but he felt that the initial proposal was far too low-key. He said that while proposal 1.0 had plenty of sentiment, it was lacking in pizazz. So he "did what any Silicon Valley geek would do and upgraded to "Proposal 2.0," a new, improved online version. "It went live on August 5, 2008." Did we mention he was a Google engineer?
Weiss-Malik said that he is not planning to tell Leslie about his cunning online move. He just wants people to email her here. ยต

Will his marriage remain in Beta stage for a couple of years before being quietly dropped like the usual offerings from Google?
That's not romantic, that's robotic.

If she had already said yes then this sounds like this guy wants attention, and not from her. ;-) Maybe from his bosses towards his wages.
