CPL 2.0 Google

Google Universe - April 22

Is there anything that you can not access on Google?

It is definitely a fast way of searching and has so many options and products!
I have looked at maps and google earth many times and find that maps is very useful and so quick, and google earth is fun and amazing!
I often go to Google first before I try any other search site.

With this weeks exercise I did explore several of the products, I had not tried clicking 'even more' before and was surprised at all the choices, this was also, the first time that I looked at 'labs'.

I was impressed with the 'Books' product as this is an excellent search site for book titles and reviews, it also, quickly links you to similar titles and information about the author including current author readings, interviews, etc. It links to 'where to buy' sites and libraries, including CPL. It has an extensive subject listing , is user friendly and very quick.

I was not impressed with the 'Aardvark product'.
This site encourages you to ask any question and promises to find the answer within seconds.
However, I tried it several times today and each time it responded with an application for facebook and announced , " before we answer your question- join us on facebook". It did not allow you to skip this or over ride the facebook application - therefore, it did not answer your question - very surprised and disappointed in this.

All in all, it has been interesting and fun to spend time exploring all the extra features on google that I had not looked at before.
