Let Me Google That For You

Let Me Google That For YouI was browsing through my Google Reader this morning, checking out interesting articles and blog posts when I came across this entry from New York Times Tech Reporter David Pogue.

David came across an website called Let Me Google That For You.  It’s a snarky answer to all of those questions people e-mail him about.  Ironically, Pogue’s e-mailers are expending a lot of effort to e-mail him and wait when the answers to those questions are often just a click away using a Google search.

We get a lot of those kinds of e-mails at work (in my role as Commuter Dude, I get a lot of questions, too).

When you go to the website, you type in your search, just as you would on Google.  Then, the site will give you a web address that you can forward to the person with the easily answered question.  When they click the link, a short video plays that demonstrates how Google works, and then displays the search results provided by Google.

Here’s an example, searching my name, Chris Sweigart.
