Another simple implementation of a simple idea: Gog.is
How many times have you had the need to send someone the results of a Google query? How many times has someone asked you for help on really simple things, the answer for which is the first result on a Google query? I have had the need to do this many a times. If the answer to any of the above for you is also yes, then here’s a savior for us.
It’s a nifty little app on Google App Engine called Gog.Is. It is a TinyUrl type of a service which allows you to send Google queries through a small URL. It works by converting whatever you append to this url into a Google Search query, and returns the query page. For example:
http://gog.is/online/observations converts to http://www.google.com/search?q=online+observations
as does http://gog.is/online,observations or http://gog.is/online+observations.
This is very handy for sending in emails, chats, forums, etc. Go ahead give it a try.
