5 out of 5 stars Antidote to Google Burnout   January 8, 2008

As webweaver and search optimizer for my company, I'm always on Internet information overload. There's a lot to be said for any book that gives me ready access to the many topics I need to access only occasionally, as well as the many others I didn't even know I needed to know about. This book excels at taking you into the confusing fine points of using Google. Blogger tags vs. HTML? I finally got it. Self-hosting your blog? Got that, too. The subtleties of sitemaps ... at last! Yes, with a great deal of effort and eye strain you could find much of this information on Google itself. I, for one, am happy to have so much information compiled and printed next to my workstation and to have the author's knowing voice guide me over the speed bumps. A good investment because of the hours of searching it saved me, though probably doomed to a short shelf life. I only wish the book came with an update feature ...

Comprehensive and High-Level Bird's Eye View of an impossibly huge collection of:
* Basic, Specialized Searches, and Additional Features,
* Shopping and Product Searches,
* Maps and Directions, Communication Services,
* Multimedia,
* Other Services,
* Google Software Tools,
* Google for Business and Developers,
* Into the future,

This is an impressive work of trying to summarize (even though it took 800 pages) of an impossible huge number Services and Products that are offered by Google. Some of these are totally disjoint, and some really related and extensions of each others.

This is an excellent comprehensive Reference Book to have next to your computer. I was very pleasantly surprised by many things, for example:
* Searching for Financial, University, Technical, and Government information,
* Google alerts and Updates, Making Google Safe for Kids, and other Languages and Translation Capabilities,
* I refined my ability to use to use Maps and Directions,
* I was impressed with Google Answers and Book Search, Tools for desktop, Calendar, and Google Pack,
* Was really happy to find Picasa, which is good image processing Application,
* Found out things about Google Labs, and found the Advanced Search Operators to be extremely helpful for navigation into the book and understanding of it.

Again, as one of the Google Mottos, Michael Miller has made the Impossible, Possible with this book. And not only he has done "No Evil", he has done an excellent job.

I have not read the book completely but what I have read is a detailed look at what is available from the Google Site and its search engine. I have found several features of interest that I did not know about or ever use before. This is a good book for those of us who spend much time on the Internet


5 out of 5 stars Great Resource!   April 16, 2010

This is a great book with a lot of information--the chapters on Google CHECKOUT, ADSENSE, and ADWORDS were especially helpful to me. I also found out about a lot of Google applications I was not aware of, like Google HEALTH. Good price too.

Did you know that Google has free email servie? Did you know that Google has a service, similar to EBay where you can buy/sell items? Did you know that you can download Google software, FREE, that could also sweep your hard drive to find items you've lost? Did you know all of the many different ways to use the search engine to find a wealth of information? Well, I was amazed to learn of these things and much, much more. I've recommended this book to everyone at my place of work and I will be buying three more copies at Christmas gifts for members of my family.

I highly recommend Googlepedia.
