Google Tips
I recently attended a mini-conference on some of the seldom used "neat" features of google. Did you know google would do these things?
- To see the weather for many U.S. and worldwide cities, type "weather" followed by the city and state, U.S. zip code, or city and country.
- To see current market data for a given company or fund, type the ticker symbol into the search box. On the results page, you can click the link to see more data from Google Finance.
- To see the time in many cities around the world, type in "time" and the name of the city.
- To see scores and schedules for sports teams type the team name or league name into the search box. This is enabled for many leagues including the National Basketball Association, National Football League, National Hockey League, and Major League Baseball.
- To use Google's built-in calculator function, simply enter the calculation you'd like done into the search box.
