Let me Google that for you!
We live in an age of instant gratification, and I think it is safe to say that there is no shortage of tools available to connect us to the information we are seeking. My personal favorite – Google – is something I sometimes wonder how I ever functioned without.
Somehow, despite all the information available to the masses, there seem to be some people who have yet to get the memo. How is it that my mother-in-law has time to compose an email to my husband inquiring what a specific company does, but couldn't bother to check their Web site for the answer? He decided to respond to her query with an answer from a site called "Let me Google that for you" . This crafty little Web site allows the user (obviously someone annoyed with being asked a question that could have clearly been Googled to begin with) to type in their search terms just as they would on Google itself. However, instead of being given a list of links, a URL is generated for you to share with the offender.
For example, entering "what is Capstrat?" gave me the following link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+Capstrat%3F . Upon clicking on the link, the info-seeker will be shown exactly how she can find the answer for herself. Passive-aggressive? Most definitely. Genius? I think so!
