techinfo: 55 Ways to Have Fun With Google

Monday, 3 September 2012

AUTHOR: Philipp Lenssen

This book, in a way, is born out of my daily weblog “Google

Blogoscoped” (blog.outer-court.com) and those who read it. Since 2003

I’ve been writing there covering all things Google – not just the fun

stuff, but news, discussion, interviews, tutorials, and everything beyond

with a relation to search engines. Thanks to those reading along and

providing pointers or feedback, I’ve been able to discover more

interesting pages and get to know more interesting people around the

world than ever before.

When I think of Google, first and foremost I think of its role to

discover knowledge, people, and people’s thoughts. Search engines are

truly one of the first emergents of a global brain, and in good tradition

of Gutenberg’s inventions in the technology of printing, of the

invention of the internet, and later the invention of the World Wide

Web. All those bring us closer together by speeding up the rhythm in

which we communicate.

So there we have it, for the first time in history: search, the key to

instant knowledge. And what do we do with it? Silly things. OK, not

exclusively. But silliness is a part of it. People googlewhack,

googlebomb, or egogoogle. People create parodies of Google. They

create search engine contests. Magic tricks, riddles and art based on

Google. They have a lot of fun with Google, and get together to play

games on top of Google services. Even Google Inc themselves send

out April Fool’s jokes every year, and celebration logos many times a

year. Oh, humanity!

But behind many of the playful creations surrounding that giant

Google toy, there are serious lessons to be learned. Of the 55 ways to

have fun with Google presented here, some ways indeed teach us

something; about life, Google, and how to become a better searcher.

And the rest of the ways? Well, seriously, they’re really just there to

have fun. And I hope you enjoy!
