Googlism - Google's Little Goo Devil!

Googlism... Google's web application which queries the text from the search engine itself to show you what Google supposedly 'thinks' about anything and everything. More or less it tells you who, what, when or where 'your query' basically stands. For instance, try writing the name of... say any of Google's competitor's in the search field (suggestion: hotmail or yahoo) and then click Googlism. The answers will be... funny, yes... but quite reflective of Google's devilish thought process I'd say ;)

What Googlism offers are what they call the 'nuggets of wisdom'. These are more or less the public's opinions and thoughts... since Googlism is said to be picking up data from your bookmarklets. So basically Google is just letting you know what 'you' (as public) think about various sites, or people or objects. Or so they want us to believe... as always };> No surprises there! The way it seems is that this 'cool' application is just picking up the 'Goo' off other stuff, searching it through 'Google' and offering it to you calling it 'Google-ism' (sorry for being so crude :s) I mean, how else can you justify its 'thinking' capabilities, huh?

The tool however is quite popular due to its so-called 'humor generation' factor and you can't help but waste a minimum of 10 minutes while you're at it. However, updates are that Googlism isn't quite receiving its fair share of fresh data from Google anymore and most results are some what old. Oh well... that's another googlish tool for you!
