GoogleWhacking

Just found out about this latest craze involving hte serach engine google.

The rules
Don’t use quote marks within your query! Quotes tell Google to find the enclosed words immediately adjacent – and that’s just too easy! As you whack, please respect these simple guidelines:

1. Your two Googlefactors must exist in this dictionary. It’s so easy to confirm: Google does the work! (And, Google has the final word!) In the blue bar atop your Google results, accepted terms are linked to dictionary.com, and so appear ‘underlined.’ No line, no link = Googlejack! (As in, You’ve got jack! 🙂

2. Google also is the arbiter of a whack’s uniqueness. Look to the right end of the blue bar atop your Google results. If you see “Results 1 – 1 of (any number),’ you found exactly one hit = Googlewhack!

3. Google shows you an excerpt of the page you whacked. Look at that text. If it’s merely a list of words (such as a bibliography, concordance, encyclopedia, glossary, thesaurus, or dictionary), No Whack For You!

The page is http://www.googlewhack.com

Have fun

Nikumba I don’t know if i ever mentioned it to you, but I love the avatar you have.

The reason is because i recognize that little guy as an enemy character in my favorite video game of all time: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island!

That little fella is called a Jungle Guy (he’s a derivative of another character called Shy Guy).
