I'm guessing "show the world what you can do" is code for "land a job at Google".

it's aps.net, running on iis, and the domain is registered on godaddy.com. This must be fake...

So what's it all about then.

no idea - but the idea of supporting overweight rabbits sounds good.

wtf? it's asp.net+IIS, on Google???!!

google store also runs on asp. http://www.googlestore.com/googlesearch.aspx

whois says it's owned by google.

Made entirely in Flash, so probably not targeted at serious developers. I guess it is something for kids, because the tag line "Technology is awesome. Learning about it isn't." suggests it tries to teach people about technology. Maybe it will be similar to that App Inventor for Android they released a while ago.
