Google Local, Definitions, & Registrar

A few Google bits in the bin this morning starting with Philipp Lenssen writes "Google Local has now moved to the Google homepage. The service, while still in beta, has been around for quite a while as one of many Google tools in the Google labs." Mr. Anonymous noted that "In the past, when you clicked the [definition] link after a Google search, you'd be taken to the Dictionary.com page for the word. Now, Google has jumped aboard GuruNet's Answers.com, which not only provides definitions, but encyclopedia articles, etymology, medical defnitions, legal definitions, and word translations all on one page." And lastly, several folks noted that Google has moved into the Domain Registrar Biz which we mentioned monday.

I'll buy a Google Domain

[IO ERROR]

Google registering domains? Sounds good, but only if they can help me search for that elusive domain that isn't already taken! Or better yet, get my old domain name back from that asshat squatter.

Google Local is also pretty useful for finding things which may not necessarily be on the Internet, though you'll have to actually leave the house and go to the location on the map to complete your search. Don't forget, when you perform this type of search, that showering and wearing clean clothes are quite beneficial in the social situations you're likely to encounter.

Oh, and if you see your mom this weekend, be sure and tell her Dupe! Dupe! Dupe! Dupe! Dupe!
