Fun With Google

I thought this was kind of cool...nerdy, but cool. Basically, it shows you some hacks that you can do with Google.

This one is my favorite: ("robots.txt" "disallow:" filetype:txt). Type it in the search box and the results your given are text files of pages that the publisher does not want Google spidering. In other words, it's pages on a website that the creator doesn't want to appear in search results. The first listing is for www.whitehouse.gov. Kind of fun. Obviously, this stuff isn't classified, but it's fun to think that it's at least stuff they don't want the public reading.

This is a cool site too. Stuff people have found using Google Earth.

Other stuff:

This is a video of a bunch of Google tricks (like how to view the page in Klingon).
