WHOA! Check Out the Google Fast Facts Cheat Sheet!

A great website for online learning is gcflearnfree.org. You can find grammar videos. You can find free lessons on using software like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. You can find basic computer skills lesson and typing lessons. You can find help with how to hunt for a job online, interviewing skills, and writing a resume.

Today on this website I found something I didn't know existed--a way to get fast answers to common questions by using the Google Fast Facts Cheat Sheet. For instance, if you want to know how much 500 euros is in U.S. dollars, use the Convert Currencies search pattern: type 500 euros to dollars in the Google search box. You quickly get an answer in the first result listed--$560.92. To know the current local time in Germany, use the Get the Time search pattern. Simply type time Germany, and you get the current time in Germany as your search result. Here's a link to the article at gcflearnfree.org, Search Better: Google Search Tips , where I found the cheat sheet:
