• Something Awful

There are three broad areas of Google obsession:

• The search engine itself, and all of Google's related services

• Alternate Google sites and interfaces, described in Chapters 14 and 15

• Analysis and discussion of Google and its extraordinary effect on our online lives

This book is mostly concerned with hands-on, heady interaction with the Google index through all its interfaces, both official and unofficial. This one chapter points to sites in the third group. These sites about Google range from the technical to the journalistic, from the critical to the laudatory.
