Easter eggs in websites are not Easter eggs at all, but they are little informations inserted secretly into web pages. They may be a few lines of text, a photograph, a sound file, or credits for the designers of the site. Most are simply fun to discover. They are rarely advertised and they are often found by accident. Some, like the ones Google often plants into their home page, are just to announce something, or make fun of other sites, or to celebrate a day, or to inform you of something interesting. Google changes them often, and some surfers delight in finding them. Other major corporate sites contain them, including facebook and yahoo, often reflecting the web designer's sense of humour. Thousands of websites hold hidden 'easter eggs' inside them.

 One way to find them, is to watch your cursor as you move around a page, it may change from the arrow to the small hand pointing, like this, telling you that something may be hidden beneath it. Click to reveal a secret! The producers of the hugely popular Myst series of puzzle adventure programs used the
technique very effectively to help you to search out directions or clues to where to go next. 
Everything is not always obvious or what it seems. Have fun!
