Title: Google is your friend...... Post by: tikay on June 07, 2007, 07:50:46 PM Am reading an awesome book, "Google" being the story - so far - of Google.
Did you know that simply typing in your Post Code, followed by weather, it gives you an instant weather forecast for your home address? Or that you can type any maths sum in, in words OR numbers, & it'll instantly calculate the answer? So, "nine by twenty seven" brings up "two hundred & forty three", or 1012 divided by 350 brings up 2.89142857 - in a nana-second! "Google" is a derivation of "googol" apparently, which is a big number - 1, followed by 100 zeros. More to come until you are all asleep. Title: Re: Google is your friend......

There are many neat tricks for example if the blonde search function is down (actually very frequently) then go to google and type {what you are looking for} site:blondepoker.com/forum and it will search just the forum. e.g. apat site:blondepoker.com/forum Title: Re: Google is your friend......
