I have, for years, depended on Yahoo as my primary search engine. The reason for this being that the Yahoo Home page was, to me, the most relevant to me and my needs. If I needed email, it was right there. If I needed news, it was right there. If I needed to do a search, the tool was right there. I used it for travel directions, to find movie times, basically everything. I ignored Google because the home page is sooooo plain and boring.
I was an idiot.
Learning about the different research and search tools Google has to offer has literally changed the way I look at the internet. I did not realize how exceptionally useful Google is. I was literally amazed by two things today: Google Translate and the Wonderwheel. I was especially impressed with the wonderwheel because it is such a simple concept that organizes your search for you. It's quick, comprehensible and incredibly useful when researching a complex or extensive topic. Today, I can say Google is changing my life.
Okay maybe that's taking it a little far, but in all seriousness, learning about these new tools WILL change the way I research information online.
