Celebrity searches may bring up dangerous results, but that won't stop curious fans from hunting down stories and pics of their favorites online. Bing recently released its list of the Read more
When I'm searching for general information on a topic, I start one of two places: Google, or Wikipedia. However, a newly discovered way to search for general information on a topic could end up being a bit of a time waster! The Bus Ride is a search engine of sorts that takes you on a guided path of varied sites related to your search query. For example, a search on "San Francisco" started with a Read more
I have the Google app on my iPhone, but it's rarely used — I prefer to use the Google search bar that's built into Safari. The results pages are virtually indistinguishable, though the app has the clear advantage with its included voice searching, search field auto-fill, and easily accessible search history, along with quick access to Gchat, Google Buzz, and Google Reader.

Both Microsoft and Google announced today that both companies would start including Twitter posts in search results. The feature is already live on Microsoft's Bing; Twitter posts appear based on key terms and tweets about hot topics. Click the "see more" link and you're Read more
Ready to rev up a new search engine? Microsoft is gearing up to launch its newest search engine effort, the succinctly named (and Web 2.0-ish sounding) Bing, set for June 3, to compete in a market that Google currently rules. Bing isn't totally new — Microsoft is essentially ditching and updating Live Search to bring you what they're hoping is a better search experience, promising things like Read more
The May issue of Esquire offers up a snarky boys club guide on how to "google efficiently." Sure, it made me giggle and was intended to entertain, but I can't say I found any of it particularly helpful or informative. Esquire says: Save time by typing in "gogle.com," instead of "google.com." Google automatically directs you to its site. Those milliseconds add up, people. In the time it takes you Read more
In this economy, it's pretty likely that some of you are out of a job. But if heading into your cube farm made you cry every morning, and you can't stand the idea of doing it all over again from the bottom up, then take this time off to really find what it is you're looking for in a job.
