When I bought my first computer the first search engine I used was ASK JEEVES. I got so tired of ''Ask another question'' that I found DOG PILE as my favorite search site. I got a bit tired of the ''bring and fetch'' thing. I decided to try GOOGLE.
Over 50 people here have written about this site so I decided to write this a different way. Let's pretend I'm a News Paper Reporter and I'm going to interview GOOGLE about this site.
Q: What is Google?
A: ''I am many things. I am a search site that anyone can use for free. You can begin at ''A'' and end at ''Z''. We have over 1,300,000,000 pages for you to look though. We update our data base every day and use information from other search sites, (under a special agreement0. You'll find news about Companies, Pictures and we have Special Searches in most Languages. Just go to:
https://google.com and ask me a question.
Q: I know that but what else do you do?
A: ''We have a Catalogs, Discussion Forms and we have a new site called ''Google Answers''. (Go to:
https://answers.google.com/answers/main)
You can ask us questions on Browse previously asked questions about Arts and Entertainment, Business and Money, Computers, Education, Family, Relationships, Science, Society and Sports just to tempt you to come and visit us here.''
Q: Do you have anything new planned for the future?
A: ''We have a new Google News. This is our latest project and you can see it by going to:
https://news.google.com.''
Q From Google: ''May I ask you some questions?''
A From me: Of course.
Q From Google: ''Did you know that you can add our site to your tool bar or that we have a Store?''
A From me: I knew about the tool bar and have it on mine. I didn't know about the Store where do I find that?
A from Google: ''Our Store can be found at:
https://googlestore.com
I hope you'll shop there someday.''
Q: What's in the Store?
A: ''Just to mention a few things we have a few Logos, Lava Lamps, Pens and Shirts''
Q: Why do I find it fast to use your site?
A: ''We keep this a secret but we know that you will find us in less that .04 seconds.''
Q: Why do I find something I write for MouthShut & other sites on your site?
A: ''We have an agreement with those sites to put opinions that are written about Airlines, Destinations and Companies on our site as a reference for other people.
Q From Google: ''Now that you are using our site what do you think of us? Have you used our ''I Feel Lucky'' feature yet?''
A: I've only used your site for a few weeks but I love it. I can find everything I want an answer to so I haven't had to use the ''I Feel Lucky'' button yet. I found out that you have some great tips and you'll translate a page for me.''
Q: Who owns your Company?
A: ''The Company that developed Google is Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They did this when they were attending Stanford University.''
Me: Thank you so much for doing this interview with me and I'm going to visit your New and Shop Site.
Google: No need to thank me I was happy to do it.
~. My Thoughts on Google. ~
When I was writing my Hawaiian reviews I was not sure how to spell some of the words. When I asked Google a question about a site and I had spelled it wrong, Google corrected my spelling mistake.
Now that I have found Google I will never use another search site again. If you haven't tried this site I hope you will as I highly recommend it to you.
Please ignore the Customer Serice as it is NA but I had to fill it out to file this review.
