Google fun


Until today, I didn't know about the many things you can do with Google for fun. I was just searching for a Christmas Google Logo when I found this picture of Googlolopoly. Next I was off and running. There is Toogle,
which creates images out of the very term that was used to fetch those images.
There is Googlism which will find out what Google thinks of you, your friends or anything!
Here are several more like; Gwigle and Googlewhack...I get such a kick out of the names.
There is even a Googlegameroom. It's geared more towards the youngsters, but we are all just kids at heart anyway.
Amazingly, there is something called Guess the Google. It gives you a hint and you guess what the search term is for it. It also has top scores posted so you have competition.
Frankly, I like the clean look of Google and the gameroom is a bit too distracting for me, but there are some alternatives and they are educational, too. Try The Image Quiz Real World Racer a google maps racing game or for us artsy folks see Montage-a-goolge. Try looking here here and (here is the Googolopoly game) for more. Have fun!!
