Ever Wanted to answer someone sarcastically to google their query ? Well, here is a simple way to do it.

Go to LMGTFY.com ( stands for Let Me Google That For You) and type your query.  Copy the url and give it to the person. lmgtfy.com creates a small web clip and at the end, it redetects to the google search with query you have entered. Have a look at this video to know how it works.

2.Google can shorten your web page links.

Go to goo.gl to shorten your links..

This would be helpful if you are looking for another couple of sites, which have similar content to the one which you are currently browsing (say I am currently visiting youtube.com and am interested in knowing what are the other video hosting sites) Install this extension in your Google chrome and see this video on how to do it.

 

6. Schedule a email in your gmail.

Boomerang is an adon for Gmail, which enables you to schedule a mail. This will be useful to send Birthday wishes, to send mails to people who are particular about “when you had sent that mail” (like bosses). See this video about installing and using it.

7. Reverse Image Search

Ever had an image and wanted to find something similar on net? now you can do it with Tineye.com. Here you can upload an image from your hard disk or give image url from web and search for the similar existing images on the internet.

 

8. Search people

pipl.com is a site where in you can search about people. Site is pretty simple and self explanatory. Its just that most of us doesn’t know about it. You can try finding similar sites or let me google that for you

 

9. Protect your Chrome Browser with Simple Startup Password

If you want to dig the history of a person, dig the history of his web browser and you will know what kind of person he or she is. All the data in a browser like saved passwords, bookmarks, history are very confidential stuffs and any unauthorized access to these can be fatal. If you are a chrome user you can now safeguard your data by protecting it with a password using Simple Startup Password extension.

You can get it from here ; and this is how it works
