Google Efficiently
• 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 to type that extra o, you could already be enjoying a reggae version of Christian Bale's rant.
• Go to "Preferences" and change the default display to one hundred results instead of the usual ten. This is a huge time-saver. You don't have to click "Next" — you just scroll down.
• Finally, the book search, which I believe is the most underutilized Google feature. Whatever the topic, search the books and you'll find dozens of relevant passages (highlighted in yellow!). If you're writing an e-mail or making a presentation, it makes you seem educated. And as professor Tara Brabazon says in her book The University of Google, education is... well, why don't you just Google it?
