I don’t know why Yahoo, MSN or ASK even try anymore.  I mean do you ever think, hey, I need to find something…lets see there is Altavista, dogpile, msn, and lycros?  I remember one occassion when google failed me, I went to msn to do the search.  WOW.  I immediately felt remorse.  How could I have doubted google?  I remember thinking, I probably just typed in the search incorrectly.  If I had typed in the right keyword then google would’ve done its job perfectly.  

I can’t even give that excuse anymore.  Now it has auto-spell check on all searches.  But that is nothing. Now, when there is a fire within miles of where you live and you need some info, you don’t have to read about the San Diego fires in the 1880s.  Now you can seamlessly click one link and eliminate everything but that one bit of info you need to figure out if you need to check your email or evacuate. 

Watch the video for info on what they’ve added to their search:

I’m not quite sure what this is, but it is stinking cool.  Perhaps it is a combo of pics and video?  Not a clue.

I wasted way too much time on this site, so I figured I’d share it:

Here is one to give you the idea:

I’m not one to really search for new blogposts or organize them with a blog reader.  But there are a few that I like to read from time to time.  So what do I do?  

1. In gmail account click on SETTINGS then WEBCLIPS.  
2. Remove all the clips you don’t care for
3. Add the blogs/other web stuff you want 

Thanks a lot.  It would’ve been nice if Google had released this a little earlier so I could have added it to my last google post, but it probably deserves its own space anyway.  If they do things right they’ll be able to pull the Skype community off that sometime terrible software, and give us something stable to communicate with.  Let me know how you guys like it….

Bored?  Cakewrecks has you covered.  Go through a few of these pages and you’ll see why we love it.  The rules, as I’ve gathered, require every submission to be a professionally made.  You’ll find that these are no “professionals”.  

Here is the link to the first post that got us hooked:

The blog commentary is a must…..

Google offers a lot of great stuff.  Here are my all time favorites (many of you will already be familiar with some of these – let me know your favorites – any from the labs that I don’t know about yet?)

Goog 411 – Free 411!  1 800 GOOG 411  - Absolutely the best tool I have on the road.

Gmail – the best email service ever – I still don’t understand why people are still using hotmail or anything else for that matter.

Google Chrome – I’ve posted this before, but it is the only PC browswer that doesn’t crash constantly

Google Docs – Good for collaborative efforts

Google Alerts – Searches the internet for news about anything you ask it to (try making one for your name)

And of course Google Maps – wouldn’t leave home without them:

Hmmm seems like I use Google a little more than I thought I did.
