Short URL for Google

Ever get that dumb question in an IM where you say to yourself Gee that would take me 2 secs on Google?

Simply reply with http://gog.is and put the keywords in the url, like this: http://gog.is/hp.

This will redirect them to the Google search for HP.

So the next time someone asks you how to remove spyware on their windows box, tell them http://gog.is/remove,windows,spyware.

Or you can try http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/ which is even more visual

Or simply http://gog.is/install+ubuntu.

You can even write http://gog.is/what/is/love.

simple prefixes

• shop: or s: : Will send you to Google product search. Try http://gog.is/shop:ipod.
• book: or b: : Will send you to Google book search. Try http://gog.is/book:poetry.
• news: or n: : Will send you to Google news search. Try http://gog.is/news:google.
• stock: or q: : Will send you to the first hit on Google finance. Try http://gog.is/stock:hpq.
