Too Much Google in your life?

No?.. Then check these out.

1.Toogle


Toogle is a Text version of Google's Image Search. Currently it creates images out of the very term that was used to fetch those images, later we will endeavor to create images out of the search terms entered by users past and present. But
Note: Before you typing words like "Sex"(which was the most searched term), or Britney Spears remember that it doesnt allow you to save or copy the images. Yet. Cool eh?

2.elgooG

elgooG is a parody of Google by "All Too Flat"( Whoever they are.) You might think this is a joke but even as i type now the site is being updated to reflect new changes. And Yes, you must type your search query in reverse to get your results.
Now what kind of people will this benefit??

3.GahooYoogle

GahooYoogle is a tool that allows you to use both search engines at the same time.
When you type in your related search words, GahooYoogle will give you the results from Google and Yahoo in a split screened frame. What this means, is that you can look at both search engine results at the same time to find out the best and most relevant search find. This is pretty interesting in the fact that you can more or less compare the different priorities of search results on both Google vs. Yahoo and based on your needs, you may be able to find the one you like the best. For example, I did a search on “Yahoo” and found that the Yahoo search engine displayed more of Yahoo’s products whereas Google’s results displayed more of Yahoo’s news on the front pages.
Now this site is cool!!!

4.Gwigle


It is a game that asks you to guess the query by looking at the first search results. Of course, the search terms are blurred. The game, created by a Google employee, is multi-level and if you think the first levels are too easy, wait for the queries from Image Search, Google Maps and Google Calculator. It will be pretty difficult to guess the queries and the options are pretty limited. Good luck and lemme know what level you are in. :)
P.S. The answer to the puzzle in the pic is of course "Google". lol

5.Guess The Google
Similar to the game above but instead of text your are given random images that are results of a Google Image Search. You need to guess the search term.

6.Google Image Labler

Google Image Labeler, a new feature of Google Image Search that allows you to label random images to help improve the quality of Google's image search results.
You'll be randomly paired with a partner who's online and using the feature. Over a 90-second period, you and your partner will be shown the same set of images and asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see. When your label matches your partner's label, you'll earn some points and move on to the next image until time runs out. After time expires, you can explore the images you've seen and the websites where those images were found. And we'll show you the points you've earned throughout the session.

7.Google Maps World War

This game can be played with 2 -25 other online players. Online players randomly receive a set of countries with troop hitpoints based on real world population data.To play: attack neutral and enemy countries in an effort to try to take over the world. You have a 20% chance of receiving more troops when you overtake an enemy country. More features to come! (currently in public beta status).
Now thats what I'm talkin about! (How to play ?)
