Review

Google is much more than a search engine, but most people don't know how to access the other features. This is a big, big book and it will show you the ropes. Get high altitude photos of almost any urban area and have Google label the roads. Have Google show the names and locations of the restaurants. Add driving directions. Read and respond to blogs; create your own blog. And on into the night.

- Bob and Joy Schwabach, On Computers Column/Universal Press Syndicate 10/16/06

Product Description

Do you want to learn and ultimately master Google's web and software tools beyond what information can find through their help files?

Well Googlepedia shows both casual end-users and professional web developers how to get the most out of the Google search site and Google's powerful tools. For web searchers, Googlepedia describes how Google indexes web pages and ranks search results, and provides step-by-step instructions on conducting both basic and advanced queries. All types of searches are presented, including searches of specific government and university web sites. Finally, webmasters and website developers learn how to submit their pages to Google for indexing, increase their search rankings, incorporate Google searches on their Web sites, and use Google's Adsense service to make money from any sized website.

For all web users, Googlepedia shows how to use and master Google's web-based and software-based tools. Readers learn how to enhance their PC's operation with the Google Pack and Google Toolbar; map destinations, get driving directions, and find nearby businesses with Google Maps and Google Earth; find the best online bargains with Froogle; instant message other users with Google Talk; view web pages in other languages with Google Translate; create their own blogs with Blogger; use Google on their mobile phones; and much, much more.

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

By	Kathleen Connolly "PagesOnPages" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Googlepedia: The Ultimate Google Resource (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

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 ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and High-Level Bird's Eye View, October 3, 2007

By	Bruce B. Razban (Silicon Valley, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Googlepedia: The Ultimate Google Resource (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars But ... why?, April 18, 2007

By	Andrew S. Rogers (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I would be the last person to complain about turning to books for information, and am even willing to argue that reading a well-done book about something can in some cases be an adequate substitute for experiencing it directly. But after looking through the nearly 800 pages of the "Google-pedia," I am still not entirely sure why it's necessary or for whom it is intended.

In my experience (and I admit to being a heavy user of Google products), Google specializes in two things: online searches -- obviously -- and also in making their products easy to understand and work with. I frankly saw very little in this "Google-pedia" that a user couldn't find in Google's own help documentation, or even figure out intuitively just from poking around the various sites and programs.

Perhaps it is easier or less intimidating for people less comfortable with the 'Net to have this kind of information readily available in book form instead of having to search for it online. In that case, this might be a decent enough introduction to the wealth of ways Google can facilitate (or monopolize, if you see it that way) your online experience. But I would suspect that more experienced users won't really find a whole lot in these pages they didn't already know or couldn't figure out with a minimal amount of curiosity and effort.
