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....

  2. One of my favorite google easter eggs... by $$$$$exyGal · · Score: 5, Funny

    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!

    I won't be happy until "images.google.com/porn" (or pr0n, for all you l33t h4xx0rs out there) works properly...

    I understand its fun to think up words for all kinds of things, but "GooCooking"? Couldn't she come up with something in better er.. taste than that?

    All I'm getting is Internal Server Errors. Can it be slashdotted already? Darn, and I was looking forward to finding a recipe for "Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Bread", I just don't know what to do with them!

    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 :)
