Guest XplsvBam Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 *NOTE: This is not in the tech forum because it isn't a question, discovery, answer, or anything related its just Google. Come on, its Google it should have its own forum.* Well I was wondering how people use Google in their every day lives? I have gone from using it as a search bar to using it as email. Now I'm using it as my picture and album program (picasa), and finally yesterday I moved on too Google desktop. I also use it as my instant messenger, its so simple! Google has truly made my life easier. How intimate are you with Google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 How intimate are you with Google? Last night should answer that question. :wink: But seriously, I use Google to search for pictures and websites, I always use Google as a spell checker when Firefox fails me or it's a proper noun. I use Google email and my account to get around Websense at school so I can search Google Images without being blocked. :twisted: But MSN/Yahoo are my homepages. :o I enjoy opening my browser to news of some sort. Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto on the spell check thing, Firefox spell check is nice but it needs some tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt23 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I'm a complete Google fan & loyalist. Google for searching. Period. You can do so much things with the search and advanced search besides just typing in something and clicking search, like putting quotes "" around the search so it searches for that phrase and adding + before operators like 'and' so they are included. Plus you can use the cached page to see the page as it was when the Google cachebot indexed it. I also use it for image searching, e-mail (I'm beginning to use G-Mail instead of Hotmail), the directory, translating, news searching, the sattelite stuff, Google Co-op, the code search, and the patent search.

Faux Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Google Search for pretty much most of my papers haha. Google News is pretty nice too. I like it because it loads much faster than other bloated news site. and of course Gmail. Anyone else who uses another free email provider is missing out. People still use Hotmail :uhh: :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren211 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Alright lets get some honest opinions here... How many of you people actually Google your names when you get bored? [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it. I own. http://linkagg.com/ Not my site, but a simple, budding site that links often unheard-of websites that are amazing for usefulness and fun.

Godslayer Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Gmail allowed me to snatch a great email adress (you know, first initial last name @ small adress), I use it for all my searches, even like wikipedia stuff (since odds are wiki will be the first result anyways). I also have a tastefully personalized homepage that is pretty nifty. Hooray Google! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do the same thing without downloading anything on http://www.wikimapia.org Well, I always get errors when I try to install it so that's part of the reason I don't like it.

DaN Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I use google for searching anything and everything Same with google earth. I dont like browser based mapping programs because they are slow with google earth everything works smooth and the images load instantly. I have a gmail account but i only use it for testing purposes. I also use Google Analytics as a secondry web statistics program on my sites. But MSN/Yahoo are my homepages. :o I enjoy opening my browser to news of some sort. http://news.google.com might be for you. ~Dan64AuSince 27 Aug 2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
