Why am I fascinated by google! Very excited! What is Google? Why is it interesting?
Google is not just a search engine, but it will not be bad if it is just like that, because it allows us to quickly obtain answers to almost any questions on the Internet. Now, when I was writing this book, Google was composed of multiple services (google.com/sitemap.html ). Some of them may have been heard of, such as Gmail or Google Maps; others are rare, such as Google Base, Google Page Creator, Google Writely or Google X, even Google experts are hard to keep up.
To understand how much people know about Google, which one of them thinks is the most interesting? I asked my sister Judith some questions about Google's services. Afterwards, I asked the British programmer, Google expert Tony Ruscoe, the same question. I asked them to be bold enough to guess when there is no clue to answer the question. So who is right? I am not making any judgments. Let readers take a look at their answers!

There are too many things that make Google interesting! It can be used to resolve disputes. In the office, we often use it when we don't trust what someone says. We bet on the risk of being teased after losing. The rule is "If it appears on Google, it is true ".
