Favorite Hidden Google Features?

Posted by Cliff on from the have-fun-with-it dept.

fredtheshingle asks: "Google now seems to allow you the option to track your FedEx and UPS shipments! Search using the tracking number for either carrier and a page that offers to track the package appears. Simply follow that link and the carrier's current status report is displayed. Nice! So what's your favorite hidden Google feature?"

    I use it all the time to convert metric to standard units and vice versa. I mean if america would just get their act together it would be a non issue. But until then, it's Google to the rescue.
