- First search tip: capitalism doesn't matter
- That's not a direct quote, btw
- Second tip: use negative signs. Aka Boolean search.
- At Google event for journalists. What happened to Google "quotes" application? #g4jby citypeter via twitter 4/26/2011 10:59:10 PM
- Im part of that new generation that doesn't know what a fax modem is! #booyah #g4jby sashakalra via twitter 4/26/2011 11:00:16 PM
- Other things google can do: weather. Currency conversion, calculator, dictionary
- Although it can't replace the Canuck OED

- #G4J didn't realize you could get airline info by just typing in flight # into google.by CreativeFusion via twitter 4/26/2011 11:04:55 PM
- Type in flight number for arrival times and name of food for recipes (recipes unrolled in us a month ago, canada tk) sort by time, calories, ingredients
- Google recipe search only available at Google.com not .ca #g4jby brianjjackson via twitter 4/26/2011 11:05:44 PM
