Valentines Day just passed and I spent it like no other V-day of my past. So while others were celebrating the commercialized hallmark holiday of Ego-boosting Females and financial manipulative men, I was reading the news on how Google wants help you further your love life.
Allow me to introduce "GOOGLE WEDDINGS" (seriously!)
Google weddings makes it easy to customize and edit your wedding website to fit your event and share the information you want. Tell people your engagement story and wedding details using one of the custom designs. Once you find the style that works best for you, jump in, start creating and share with your fiance(e) so you can work on it together.
Now you can share and plan your love story with google. Its almost as if they are saying "if it didnt get posted online, it never happened". So with that being said, What other memories must we digitize to make sure it is never forgotten? Allow me to also introduce to you "Google Holocaust".
According to a NYT article, Israeli Archive and Google Team Up to Put Holocaust Stories at Fingertips. .... (check it out)
Well, I know what youre thinking... "how does someone who is trying to avoid Googling finding out all this Google info?" ... Well, lets just say that it takes alot of attention to ignore someone or something. It all sticks out like a thumb and I'm not pointing any fingers but *points to self* Some people need the reality check to get in touch with the "offline world". We cant just sit around and wait to be acknowledged in order to feel the need to be proactive and learn from the everyday. I've even impressed myself and beat a long time fear of mine. I went to the Library and got a Library card.
When I was in 3rd grade, I use to LOVE the library until I moved one day before returning a poetry book. I always read that little sign in the back that said "10 cent a day late fee" and you know the rest, I plea the fifth. Do you want to know the best part of when I went to the New York Public Library? While staring at an array of books, people and computers with index logs to business journals, there was this fellow at the PC and what was on his Screen... the Damned Google Homepage. Seriously, who googles in a library ( and the business and fashion library at that)
I highly doubt that he asked the librarian: Where are books on Restaurants? LIBRARIAN: Google it!
14 more days to Go. (Sidenote, I havent asked jeeves, yahoo, bing, or any search engine...its just that google is the Official "I-Dont-Know-Dot-Com".
