Ileane Smith's List: GoogleApps

      • Do a timeline search. Use “view:timeline” followed by whatever you are researching to get a timeline for that topic.
      •  
      • Get around blocked sites. If you are having problems getting around a blocked site, just type “cache:website address” with website address being the address of the blocked site to use Google’s cached copy to get where you are going.
      •  
      • Use a tilde. Using a tilde (~) with a search term will bring you results with related search terms.
      •  
      • Use the image search. Type in your search word, then select Images to use the image search when trying to put a picture to your term.
      •  
      • Get a definition. If you want a definition without having to track down an online (or a physical) dictionary, just type “definition:word” to find the definition of the word in your results (i.e.: “definition: serendipity” will track down the definition of the word “serendipity”).
      •  
      • Search within a specific website. If you know you want to look up Babe Ruth in Wikipedia, type in “site:wikipedia.org Babe Ruth” to go directly to the Wikipedia page about Babe Ruth. It works for any site, not just Wikipedia.
      •  
      • Search within a specific kind of site. If you know you only want results from an educational site, try “site:edu” or for a government site, try “site:gov” and your search term to get results only from sites with those web addresses.
    • As of now calls to US and Canada are going to be be free, at least till the end of the year and calls to other countries would be billed at extremely low rates. Prices offered by Google are very competitive.

       

      If you are used to using Skype for making international calls, you would find that the rates offered by Google are lower. You can view the comparison table, which shows the Google call rates being considerably cheaper than other leading Online Telephony providers.
