Playing with Google

Posted by Hemos on from the fun-things-for-the-weekend dept.

Chromatic sent over the links to Tara Calishain's Happy Google Hacks page. It's basically a collection of interesting ways to do searching - something fun for the weekend. I'm thinking of preparing dinner Sunday based on the recipe tool.

  1. Google 1000 quota by sydneyfong · · Score: 5, Funny

    Note: If you get a "no search results" message for a search that you'd expect results, this may be because the key has been used up for the day. Sigh. 1000 queries at ten results each isn't a whole lot, is it?

    You gotta love slashdot and it's slashdotting....

    Do a search for "goatsex", with the 'x' at the end, and look at what google recommends ;-).

      At 28,900 hits for "goatse" and only 10,100 for "goatsex," I wouldn't call it an easter egg.

      Should we mourn how many goatse links are out there, or be happy there are so "few" goatsex links?

      I searched for goatsex... clicked through something, and came upon:
      http://www.dangerz.net/gatasa/article.shtml

      I then sat, reading about the goatsex guy.

      Great, now, not only are my eyes scarred for life, but I have just wasted 5 minutes of my life looking at "Investigative Journalism" on goatsex.

      It was worth a laugh...

      So, does this count as circular linking, or the first official goatse webring?

      "ring" and "goatse" should never be use near each other!

    Long time ago, I began to think about graphing someones "impact" in this world by letting google hunt for his/her name.

    Anna Lührmann (age 19) was elected as member of Parliament 09/23/2002 and her google score just doubled within some days.

    Well, I put my homepage in my URL field here and its pagerank shot up within a week.

    Don't tell me I'm making an impact on the world by posting on slashdot :)
