In short, it's the quality of Google's technology and products that won me over, but what keeps me an avid user is its customer service.</p> <p>The company's latest achievement is the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/new-google-help-forums.html" target="_blank">new Google Help Forums</a>, which include improved searching and a ranking system so you can get support easier and faster. I love the accompanying video to this new announcement, because I feel it shows them really considering what their customer wants and needs. It's a tossup as to what makes Google great.</p> <p>What do you think?</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/Google-Introduces-New-Help-Forums-2472326" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Google&#039;s Best Attribute: Technology or Customer Service? </label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-2472326" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-2472326" name="edit[choice]" value="0-2472326" class="form-radio" /> Technology/products</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-2472326" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-2472326" name="edit[choice]" value="1-2472326" class="form-radio" /> Customer service</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-2472326" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-2472326" name="edit[choice]" value="2-2472326" class="form-radio" /> Other (see my comment below)</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-3-2472326" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-3-2472326" name="edit[choice]" value="3-2472326" class="form-radio" /> I don't like Google.</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="2472326" /> <span class='button'><span class='button_copy'><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.geeksugar.com/Google-Introduces-New-Help-Forums-2472326#comment News Poll Google Google Help Forums Sat, 08 Nov 2008 13:10:32 PST GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/Google-Introduces-New-Help-Forums-2472326 http://www.savvysugar.com/Best-Deal-Websites-20314363 <a href="http://www.savvysugar.com/Best-Deal-Websites-20314363"><img width=160 height=160 src='http://media2.onsugar.com/files/2011/11/45/1/192/1922441/fc996368bfe2dd1a_1.large.jpg' /></a><p><i>We're thrilled to present this smart <a href="http://www.kiplinger.com/features/archives/web-sites-for-finding-deals-online.html" target="_blank">Kiplinger</a> story here on Savvy!</i></p> <p>We've tested and picked 15 Web sites we think are easy to use and will help you save money all year. Even if you don't end up buying online, it never hurts to find the best deals on the Web before you hit the stores. Then you can comparison shop and make better choices. We also list three smart-phone applications that will help you get deals in stores. Take a look:</p> <p><b>Find deals</b></p> <p>If your number-one goal is to score deals, start by checking out sites that do the bargain hunting for you. Deal sites scour the Web for discounted items - saving you both time and money.</p> <p>Our favorite deal site still is <a href="http://dealnews.com/" target="_blank">dealnews</a>, which has a team of deal hunters keeping their eyes on a million products at more than 2,000 online retailers. Plus merchants and the site's visitors tip them off to bargains. The deal hunters hand pick the best deals among the thousands they get daily and update the site at least 200 times a day, says Dan de Grandpre, founder and chief executive of dealnews.</p> <p>The site also bans stores with poor customer service. Plus, you can sign up for e-mail or RSS alerts for products or stores you're interested in and get gift ideas from the site. Dealnews also has added a local deals section to help you find discounts at brick-and-mortar stores near you.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gottadeal.com/" target="_blank">GottaDeal.com</a> is another great source of deals. You may find some here that you won't find at dealnews (we did recently).</p> <p>A reader favorite is <a href="http://slickdeals.net/" target="_blank">Slickdeals.net</a>, a user-driven deal sharing site. It features a few deals on its homepage daily, but its forums are where you'll hundreds of deals posted daily.</p> <p><a href="/Best-Deal-Websites-20314363#read-more" title="Read more." class="read-more">Read on for more great deal websites.</a> http://www.savvysugar.com/Best-Deal-Websites-20314363#comment community consumerism Kiplinger Post Swap budget tips Mon, 07 Nov 2011 12:59:08 PST Kiplinger http://www.savvysugar.com/Best-Deal-Websites-20314363
