Challenge #4 - Google and the first steps to becoming a Power User (First Post)

Just typing in the title makes me feel more powerful. I just read the article by David Pogue and found it interesting as well as helpful and have forwarded the link to a friend. When I checked About Google I got sidetracked by Google Health and had to enter my medications before moving on to the Google Blog.

My first post for this challenge is about a Google Blog post that I read. I searched for a blog under recipe. I was hungry at the time having just finished tracking some of my food for the day on Sparkpeople.com during my break, so it seemed like a good choice. The post that I chose had a recipe on it for a Triple silken pumpkin pie that had won a bake-off at the office and was advertised as the perfect holiday pie. The recipe did look delicious, however, I imagine that by the time I would substitute soy creamer for the heavy cream and soy sour cream for regular sour cream, it might not taste quite so delicious.

I just added the RSS feed for the Google Blog to BlumaPushingSixty, so I will be checking it periodically and posting again soon.

Update:I did find something interesting that was posted March 31st on local flavor for google suggest. Google Suggest was launched in the US in August giving real time suggestions after typing in just a few letters. The International launch was announced March 31st. The really interesting part is that if you are in the US and searching "liver" you will get more suggestions related to liver disease while in the UK "liver" will get more suggestions related to Liverpool.
