5.0 out of 5 stars Prime Coffee Table and Bathroom Reading, December 10, 2006

By	Jon Henshaw (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

Philipp is best know for his wildly popular blog, "Google Blogoscoped." He covers anything and everything Google, and probably knows more about Google than Google themselves. Philipp's unending obsession with all things Google has led him to writing this book.

I say it's a great coffee table or bathroom reading book, because each chapter (some very short) has a unique and interesting thing you can do with Google. And for most people, you will want to put the book down and go to your computer and try it after reading it. Some of those very interesting chapters include, "Googlebombing," "Googlepolls," "Growing a Google Word" and of course "EgoGoogling."

This a great gift book for anyone that uses the Internet regularly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a techi book, November 29, 2007

By	Ahmad M. El-nadaf "geek" (OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Book is boring in some places, like "Susan is" book keeps going and going over hundreds names, also if I want to read about google, I,m not going to play the image game and the text game, to see how fats I can go. If u are looking for a technical book, this is not the right one.
