Google Hacks by Tara Calishain & Rael Dornfest

Today I have finished this fine book of Google Tricks. It is funny to notice how dated a book could be if Internet and its programs are involved.

It doesn't matter. Here are a few of the most interesting stuff I found in its pages.

• There is a mirror version of Google. Now is currenly undergoing a server upgrade. I hope it will be soon operative.
• Looking for information about this book, I found an spanish blog about Google Tricks. This blog is quite useful. I will read it whenever I need information about Google stuff.
• Some useful sintax. intitle: - inurl: - site: - link: - phonebook:
• Something I realy didn't Know: Julian Calendar. In CPAN you can modiffy your local date as a julian day. Digging in Internet, I found this curious Multicalendar in Isotropic.
• Translation made easy: multilingual.
• Powered by... means realy something.
• Google Labs were working hard. Now its work is real.
• Now I know what API is.
• Visualize Google results is really something with Touchgraph. It is as powerfull as the new flying navigator in YouTube.
• The Chapter about Webmastering has a lot of insightful ideas. Brett Tabkehas a great recollection of them. In fact, 26 of them as you can see in googlelady.
