Search engines have become more popluar that address bars. That’s what I learnt from m friends and colleagues. Whenever I give them a URL (let’s say: yassine36.wordpress.com) They simply type “www.google” in the address bar then entre my URL in the search bar. In my opinion that’s the awkward way to go to a site that you know.
Luckily, Leelefever and his wife Sachi have made an In Plain English video on web search startegies that anyone can use with any search engine (not only google !!)
Google Chrome’s new browser has changed many things and now is allowing searching the web from the address bar! But that thig deserve another post….
Do you have any particular method of searching the web?
I’m a web 2.0 geek! Whenever I come across a new website, I subscribe to it and move their confirmation to my “SignUps” folder on my Yahoo! mailbox. So obessesed that I don’t wanna miss a thing. That results innot checking 80% of the sites I adhere to unless they trurn out to be “The Next Thing”.
I signed up with Facebook about a year ago and though i don’t regularly check it It’s “him” who checks me! As i was curious at the beginning, I installed some applications (including my blog feed), invited my freinds to join me, uploaded my pic and joined a couple of groups there. Not all my facebook friends are active, but I receive notifications about my friends making freinds online. That sounds like a “Spy Kids” game!
The striking thing is that relationships are differently shaped there; poking instead of whistling (alluding to the Moroccan wooing way “Fss fsss”) adding as a friend rather than inviting to a dinner or “clicking away the pain” instead of consoling.
