Google it.
I think one of my favorite phrases ever is “Google it.” This phrase tends to usually piss people off, for reasons that I cannot fathom, because I can’t really understand people’s dislike of finding stuff out on their own.
I guess the Japs (naturally) are more affectionate towards Google though, because the newest trend in advertising is the replacement of URLs with… ta da… search boxes. Complete with recommended
search terms. I think that’s both awesome and brilliant, plus, it’s much easier to remember keywords than URLs. (source, via)
I do not see that happening in the Arab world anytime soon, because we seem to not be as comfortable with finding our own information.

well, yea .. but anyone can take that keyword and try to spam it, and get his results on top ;)

I really dislike Google for many reasons .They might provide false or true information to doctorial regimes like China to put some people in jails. There is no policy to protect privacy in Google world or even you tube.

I created telldodo.com to serve exactly this purpose: replace URLs with easy to remember, easy to pronounce, easy to spell UNIQUE keywords. Perhaps I should hook up with someone in Japan to create a Japanese version of telldodo. Let me know if you have an interest in developing this idea…
