Google It's awesome


i use it all the time

well i like IOWA HAWKEYES but ya dont see me posting that!lol jk but eh...idk what to say about that "google".lol

yeah, google I like google !

I like Google because it's the search engine that helps me find everything I need. I don't ever need to use any other search engine, if it's not in Google, it's very likely to not exist. Whether that's true or not... I don't know, but it's like that for me, and learning how to use Google has proven to be extremely useful, there is almost nothing I cannot find or trace with it.

I also hate when people ask lots of questions without having a look at Google first. It pisses me off a lot, as it's just the easiest thing on earth to write in Google something like "Windows XP Services" or "Far Cry tweak guide"... instead of constantly asking everyone for help with links, information, bugs, patches, etc.

Don't be lazy, people, search in Google first, then ask!

I also like Google Talk, it's the easiest way to speak with my girlfriend (that unfortunately lives far from me) avoiding the hassle of Windows Live Messenger - overcrowded... every time I connect my contacts just start talking to me A LOT.

Google Talk is the instant messaging utility I use when I want to be connected ONLY with the people I want to speak with. It generally works fine, it's small, doesn't use much memory, the interface is something anyone can use - even older people, and the sound quality is good. Shame is not available for Linux or Mac Os X as I also use these systems.

I find the translation tool EXCELLENT if you need to quickly figure something out. I do a lot of online shopping outside my home country (Spain) and mostly in the UK and Germany. No problem with the UK, but the German shops sometimes don't have information in English, so it's quite useful if I don't understand something. Also when I work as a translator I am not sure of how to write some word, or the usage of a phrase, then I look in Google (just do a normal search of my phrase) and I get the right idea (and the usual mistakes too).

But the best thing Google has done for me was helping me to find out if my students are doing plagiarism. Whenever I correct an essay, if there is some phrase I don't trust - if it sounds "too good" for the student's skill - I Google it. 99% of the times just writing the exact phrase between quotes brings out the original article or essay that my students are copying. Well... it seems also that my students use Google too!!

I cannot live without it, to be honest, Google is an integral part of my life - I remember using AltaVista and Yahoo ages ago, before 98, and they were fine, but not as good. Lycos had its moments, MSN has always been extremely bad. Terra was ok-ish when there was nothing else in Spanish, but... Since Google is out, I've been a user, and a very satisfied one. Now with the possibility of searching images and video it's becoming something of epic proportions. Anytime I need textures, certain motifs or clip-art, icons, etc... I just search Google Images for them. Guess what? It has all I need.

Plus, it's ads are the least intrusive that exist. And some of them are even useful! I have never found ads useful but sometimes I can click on some friend's website ad-sense thing because they actually have links to things I am looking for. Way better than porn ads and online casino ads and emoticon ads and the like that plague the Internet.

Who doesn't use google... it's the largest and most effective search enging, even with yahoo in second..

I just love the service offered by the Google but I'm not pleased with the way its corporate is organised and works.

I have always wondered why people like to use Google much, I mean, didn't Yahoo, and MSN come before Google? Perhaps it's Google's simple interface that attracts them. What happens if one of day Google decides to change their layout... would that be a bad idea or good idea?

I like the simplicity of Google and its ease of use. I've always loved things simple. Other stuff like MSN and Yahoo! just don't appeal to me... I love how big it's grown, but how it still managed to maintain that cute and simple frontpage. Google's cool. But of course, it's not perfect. I admit it's been hyped... but I like it nonetheless.

Even i like google a lot ,all of its service are good and really fun ,it service are really best , but sometimes i feel like google shouldn't get too much power,a company shouldn't get all the power ,this power itself may doom google
