One of the basic purpose of the internet is “Search”. It is the base technology of Google which is in the driver’s seat. If we want to know something the first thing we do is to do a Google search. But have we always been successful in what we search is the big question! Many a times we don’t find what we need because we don’t search properly! Here are some tips and tactics to make your search results effective.
We all know that Gmail keeps on increasing the storage space day by day but some time competitor Yahoo took over this tactic by permanently providing unlimited space for all yahoo mail users. Google is also catching up with increased storage ! GMail has been so far very creative with the Infinity+1 Storage plan which was launched in starting of 2005. By the beginning of next year we all can enjoy a free space of around 6GB which i feel is more than enough. If you feel the other way, you can go in for the paid storage program.

It is a dream for many of the peeps to work for Google. Although people keep bitching about the big G for what ever it does, in one corner every one wishes if he/she could be a part of the amazing team which is the spear head of the internet. Read Write Web has got this post on how to pretend like a Google employee. It has got screen shots of the Google Intranet which is supposed to have leaked out someway.

It is really hard to remember all the user names and the pass words of the zillion web sites where we hold a account. Although i use certain combinations it is still hard to remember and there is a friend of my mine who is struggling after forgetting his financial account password!
