- 2013 April 19, Michael Brake, “Video der Woche: Tausend tanzende Mauszeiger”, in Die Tageszeitung: taz, →ISSN:
- Gebaut wurde das alles von Roul Wouters und seinem Designstudio Moniker aus Amsterdam, […] das als Easter Egg in der browsereigenen JavaScript-Konsole noch ein wenig Making-of-Erklärungen versteckt hat.

Usage notes
- The Duden prescribes that unadapted borrowings from English consisting of two nouns be written solid (Easteregg) or, if it improves legibility, hyphenated (Easter-Egg). The spaced spelling (Easter Egg) is proscribed.[1]
