Searching for Mac Googlers

What do you get when you search for “Toolbar” on Google Mac? That’s right, Gopple, a petition to bring the Google Toolbar to the Mac. [Via Google-Blog-Dirson.]

Now here’s a feature I want on Windows – even faster than a toolbar: press Caps-lock and everything you type will be googled (finally a real use for that key).

Rejected Google Holiday Logos

The page is a bit older already but I think I never got around to link to it, so in case you didn’t see it: a lot of funny Google logo variations at Fark.com. The Google-font is supposed to be Catull.

All My Google Web API Tools

Here’s an overview of all the Google Web API tools I’ve written for this blog so far (some of them are unstable or don’t work reliable, others work good enough to be of some use, or entertainment):

• Search.CSS: Search using your CSS – with thumbnails of websites.

• SearchGrid: A table combines several terms.

• Egobot: Chat with a bot.

• Egobrowser: Get quick Web information on any person.

• Theorybot: Get a random theory.

• Centuryshare: See the Zeitgeist for any term.

• Ageshare: See the age-groups for any term.

• Memomarker: Returns a set of keywords that “memomark” a page.

• Keyword Variations: Google all variations of a word.

• Domain Check: Check all domains for keywords.

• Domain Count: Check all country-domains.

• Categorizer: Tries to guess what category a keyword fits in.

• Moviebot: Tries to rate a movie.

• Surch: Just a re-formatted Google search.

• SVG-Search: Displays Google results in SVG.

• Most-Used Words Online: I’ve filled a database with the page-count for nearly 30,000 words by writing a tool which queries the Google Web API. You can find out which words are most used online.

• SketchWeb: A Java applet maps the web neighborhood of any URL you enter by checking what Google’s “related” operator offers.

• Word Popularity Colorizer: Shows how frequent a word is compared to the average Web frequency and thus determines which words are important to the text.

Google Your Own Keyword Variations

By popular request (OK, one comment was enough), I’m making the Keyword Variation Googler public for the time being. Here’s the result for “googlo” like presented in my previous post.
