YouTube turns the clock back 20 years for Geek Week
Last night, YouTube sent a cryptic message to its 30 million Twitter followers asking them to crack a code to go retro. The code translated to / GeekWeek and, when the phrase is searched on the website , transforms it into ASCII version, harking back to the time of Bulletin Board Systems. The stunt was to promote Geek Week which kicks off in August.
Crack the code to go retro: 53 65 61 72 63 68 20 59 6f 75 54 75 62 65 20 66 6f 72 20 2f 20 67 65 65 6b 77 65 65 6b #GeekWeek
