Teach your friends how to Google

I’m sure you’ve gone through this before. So, you’re the Google expert, right? Everybody knows you know this and that, and hence, everybody’s been asking you too many questions. Seriously. And as much as you like to be the helpful friend who provides all the answers to their questions, it gets tiring at times. They don’t even have to ask you those questions when all they have to do is to go to Google and type in their questions.

Well, finally, somebody finally came up with Let Me Google That For You. When you’ve finally had enough, you can turn to this is fun, passive-aggressive way to teach your pesky friends how to use Google. And finally leave you alone for once.

Let Me Google That For You is actually very easy to use. Just enter a search term, click the Google Search button, and a link appears at the bottom that you can copy, paste and send to your friend.

The link will send them to an animation that displays the process of searching Google for information, and then they will be directed to the actual Google search results.

This is a bit too snarky though, the animation even ends with “Was that too hard?” Maybe you can use this as a last resort for that pesky friend who sees you as Google incarnate. But don’t worry, by Let Me Google That for You, your friend might actually pick up a thing or two about keyword syntay, search operators, literal strings and the like.

Once they learn something, maybe, just maybe, they’ll stop bugging you with questions on simple questions that can be easily answered with an easy Google search. Okay, maybe they won’t come back to you in a while, but if they end up on the less-illustrious parts of the web, like those purveyors of adult entertainment and file sharing software, maybe they’ll come back to your for tech support.

So let’s say you teach them how to Google and all, and they still bug you? If all else fails, you can point them to this site instead.
