Google Click

After much testing, it appears that the URLs in the Google search results are now clickable. I noticed it last week, I assumed it was a continuation of the test but I still see it today as do others like Ari Roth on Twitter. I don't think this change matters that much to any of you, but it is a change to the Google search results and I wanted to share it.

Google Url Snippet Clickable

So now when you hover your mouse cursor over the green URL in the Google search results snippets, you can click on that as well as the title of the snippet.

Again, I doubt this will lead to much noticeable difference to any of you - but just a heads up.
