Contrary to popular belief, your laptop will not self destruct when you google the word Google.
That’s right; it’s the question on every internet guru, regular Joe Bloggs’, expectant mothers and everyday internet surfers minds alike. What search results do you get if you google the word Google? To put you all out of your misery, here are the top search results for the word Google from Google’s own Google Search Engine.
Results may vary.
- News Results for Google
- Google Reader
- Google Maps
- Google Video
- Google News
- Google.org
- Google Groups
- Google Wikipedia, The Free encyclopedia
Up to the minute news on what is popular with the Google range of web and non-web products including the hugely anticipated Google phone and how many rupees it will cost the average Indian resident, will it out do the Apple iPhone, and how Google is giving somebody $10 million for the best idea for a new product.
Somewhat strangely, the second result when googling the word Google on the Google Search Engine is the Google Search Engine. That’s right; you are directly linked to the site you originally typed the word Google into. Yeh go figure!
If you are set up with a Google account then Google Reader lets you share and follow along with content that you are interested in including blog sites you have chosen to follow on Blogspot. This site also brings you the recent happenings within the world of Google.
Provides you with a range of mapping tools including street maps, satellite images and even traffic maps. Search the route you need by using the very effective Google keyword search tool. Interestingly when you enter the Google Maps site, the first map you are provided with is a map of the United States of America.
Yes you guessed it, a link to the Google Search Engine’s home page but with an international flair. Depending on the country you live in and your service provider, you are linked to the Google Search Engine which sets the results to the most popular and relevant sites in your country i.e. www.google.co.nz
Google’s equivalent to You Tube, Google Video lets you watch, upload and share video from all corners of the internet. Again a keyword search tool is provided for your convenience so that if it happens that you want to hear Sarah Palin’s riveting talks, it’s all at your finger tips.
Not quite the same as the number 1 result for googling Google but a feature that lets you view all of the top stories in the world of news and providing you with your own defined Google News Search Engine. Great!
Pulls together all of the information and technology resources to address the world’s issues. Number 1 on their list of issues to resolve: Climate Change! Follow the blog to keep up with Google’s progress.
Use your iGoogle account to access Google Groups and join in with thousands of others discussing different aspects of life. Or alternately, create your own group and encourage others to join it. You might like to start your very own “Ban Skateboarding” group.
Surprisingly very low on the list of what you get if you google Google as Wikipedia generally make the top five search results in any search but not when you google Google. Find out all you need to know about the workings of Google, its origins, history and more.
Not again, this time it’s the U.K. specific Google Search Engine homepage. So if you’re a Brit, google your guts out right here.
So there you have it. The top search results if you google the word Google in Google’s search engine. Your off to google the word Google now aren’t you?
