Yesterday I wrote about Annual Day without Google. I faired okay without Google as I used Searchmash and Sputtr that do throw up results from both Google and Yahoo.
I am linking here two search engine compilations that I came across on web after posting my list of search engines:
- List of top 100 search engines courtesy Alt search engines web site. It is sister site of ReadWriteWeb.
- Country specific list of search engines
Now a list of April Fool hoaxes:
- Top 100 April Fool hoaxes
- Google, G-day prank
- Virgle, prank by Google and Branson in search of adventure in open-source planet 😉
- Google prank from last year: Gmail paper
- Job posting at Google Copernicus center
- Google Romantic Beta
Thanks, Harsha, for the google prank links! 🙂
Visceral Observations 
🙂 Well written.
Firstly, it is not easy developing a site / blog. Then, later on, you need to broadcast to the world. Now, how does one do this? It is neither easy nor a magic wand, as there are so many offers across the internet to promote the same.
However, I came across this website, http://www.whoistopofthelist.com. You can write about your site, post and link, as well as a photo. The service is free.
Please comment.
Ah yes, I remember the Google Pages one too. Seems like Google likes making fools out of people but they seriously need to hire a couple of people from MTV to teach them how to do so. Though I must admit that the Google G Day waala idea was pretty neat.
poonam…err…out of context, actually. but dint find any other way to inform u.
My first song has been uploaded in my blog.Check it out and comments are most welcome.
@ish: I liked Virgle idea and Gmail paper too. I am sure some people fell for Gmail paper. 🙂 MTV is baap of making bakras. 🙂
@Vimal: Thanks for informing me. I will surely check out your song. 🙂
is that a clown or a leprechaun?
I am glad, google prank links that i commented helped you! Let more posts come under Awareness 🙂
Dear Poonam, this is maybe out of scope here (even tho search engines are powerful educational tools as well) but AutumnSnow from China commented on my post on educational Multimedia, talking about the flaws of UK educational system (HKong is an ex UK colony). I would like – if possible – you to add something to the thread, since you are an instructional designer. Here is the link:
