When you need to find something, you likely Google it. I’m sure you probably have a Google account. If you’re logged in to it and search for just about anything, you may have noticed new icons in your search results. Google has started to integrate Wiki-like functionality in search results.

Lets say you search for something often enough and know what you’re looking for… you have the ability to click the corresponding icon to move your result higher on the returned list just for you. You can also click the little “x” button next to any particular search result to remove it from your future searches.

This is so excellent. You can sort and arrange your Google search results based on what best fits your needs. Whatever changes you make will only show up that way for you, not everyone. You can also even make public comments, or read ones that others have left. Hey you can even add your own search result to the list, to make it even more customizable!

If you’re signed into your Google account when you customize your Google search results, it will follow you anywhere you go. So long as you sign into that same account, your searches will be in your order whether you sign on at home or work – or even from another country!

Google Search for Open Directories

Google Search for Open Directories is a post from Chris Pirillo

Dan has been playing with Google, apparently:

Like most people that have heard of you, I have watched your vids etc and know that you could probably answer my question, so I will ll ask it. :) I have been designing a special google search which allows me to find movies in open directories. Here it is at its current state:
-inurl:(htm|html|php|shtml|3bb|aspx) intitle:"index.of"+(mov|mp4|m4v|avi)+"Name"+"Name2"+"Parent Directory"+"Size"+"last modified"+"description"-"jpg|mp3"
This covers and uncovers most things I need. There is one major hurdle before I can get much further. Most movies I am looking for are above 600MB. Here is a search which shows how it is possible to search by size:
-inurl:(htm|html|php|shtml|3bb|aspx) intitle:"index.of"+(mov|mp4|m4v|avi)+"Taxi"+"4"+"Parent Directory"+"700M"+"last modified"+"description"-"jpg|mp3"
As you can see, I changed the size to refine this search. When I search other things I do not know what size to search so I get many results. How do I do a search that basically says: ‘Above 600M’ to find me directories with results above 600MB, as many which do not have anything above that are useless?

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
