I was using Picasa Hello BloggerBot application to post pictures to my picture blog. While I was posting a picture, I noticed something odd. A little red heart floated down the screen in hello/bloggerbot. WTF? Why was a heart dropping across my screen? Is it some sort of easter egg when you have posted so many pictures?
Did a quick search on Google, but I could not find a good answer.
Checking hello help forums, I did find an answer. It seems certain words during a 'chat' session can trigger some animations. And I guess Hello considers posting to BloggerBot a chat. And looking at the terms I typed, I think it triggered the heart from 'cloverleaf'. Weird.
Addendum:
After looking at the forums a tiny bit more, then looking at the executable, I found there are 5 animations or 'motio's. I figured out how I triggered the heart: the string 'love' in 'cloverleaf'.
The strings:
motio/heart == 'love', 'heart', 'xo', 'hearts'
motio/:( == ':(', ':-(', ';(', '=('
motio/>:) == '^:)', '>:)'
motio/: == ':'
motio/:) == ':)', ':-)', '=)', ';)'
