Cool Things You Can Do With Google
Tuesday, May 22, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Google does a lot of really nifty stuff, from searching websites, to maps, to
telephone directories and more. However, there are a lot of nifty little
featured buried deep in the search engine that you might not know about.
These little tricks help make Google a quick and easy go-to tool for any number
of tasks. Lifehack.org has an article up detailing just a few of these
little-known secrets.
A few examples:
- Google Search as a Calculator
- Take notes on websites with Google Notebook
- Translate foreign sites
One not covered, but a personal favorite of mine is the ability to paste the tracking number for a package into the search engine (any courier service that has online tracking works). It will give you a direct link to the appropriate tracking site to display your current package status. I use this all the time when I have items shipped to me.
