Let Me Google That For You

[LazyLion]

This is Teh Coolest Thing EVAR!!!

If you're a power searcher, or other people think you are, and you're getting tired of constant requests for answers to questions that a quick Google search would provide, try Let me google that for you. Enter a search term, click the Google Search button, and a link appears that you can copy, paste and send to your friend. When they click the link, an animation displays the complicated process of searching Google for information, and then directs the user to the actual search results page from Google. Snarky? Yes. However, while the user is forced to study the search term you used, they might pick up a trick or two in keyword syntax, search operators, literal strings and the like. After all, give a man an answer, and he'll come back tomorrow asking for more. Teach a man to search Google, and you'll have to offer tech support when he ends up downloading malware while cruising shadier purveyors of adult entertainment and file sharing software.

Honestly, is this a joke by google?

The only utility value that this thing has is to give you the tool that enables you to be patronizing to somebody that asks you a (stupid) question.

It's not made by Google. it is a third party website. And being patronising is sometimes exactly what it takes to make people wake up and use Google for themselves. Is there some kind of law against being patronising? I have the knowledge, they don't have the knowledge. I give them the knowledge in a friendly way (there is nothing insulting about the website), and they learn to do it for themselves.
