Produktbeschreibung

Google.com is one of the most popular sites on the Internet and is used around the world by millions of people every day. Sure, you know how to "e;Google it"e; when you're searching for something--anything!--on the Web. It's plenty fast and easy to use. But did you know how much more you could achieve with the world's best search engine by clicking beyond the "e;Google Search"e; button?While you can interface with Google in 97 languages and glean results in 35, you can't find any kind of instruction manual from Google. Lucky for you, our fully updated and greatly expanded second edition to the bestselling Google: The Missing Manual covers everything you could possibly want to know about Google, including the newest and coolest--and often most underused (what is Froogle, anyway?)--features. There's even a full chapter devoted to Gmail, Google's free email service that includes a whopping 2.5 GB of space).This wise and witty guide delivers the complete scoop on Google, from how it works to how you can search far more effectively and efficiently (no more scrolling through 168 pages of seemingly irrelevant results); take best advantage of Google's lesser-known features, such as Google Print, Google Desktop, and Google Suggest; get your website listed on Google; track your visitors with Google Analytics; make money with AdWords and AdSense; and much more.Whether you're new to Google or already a many-times-a-day user, you're sure to find tutorials, tips, tricks, and tools that take you well beyond simple search to Google gurudom.

Rezensionen

"Das vorliegende Buch versteht sich als Handbuch zur populären Suchmaschine Google. Fast jeder benutzt Google ohne dabei ein Handbuch zu vermissen, denn Google liefert in der Regel selbst mit relativ einfachen Anfragen brauchbare Ergebnisse. Allerdings werden dabei nützliche Hilfsmittel und Suchprinzipien übersehen, die in diesem Buch vorgestellt werden sollen."

An wen sich das Buch richtet

Der Autor richtet sich sowohl an Neulinge, als auch an erfahrene Webbenutzer, die Google effizienter nutzen möchten. Es werden lediglich gewisse Grundkenntnisse im Umgang mit dem Internet vorausgesetzt, technische Konzepte wie z.B. HTML, URLs oder das Usenet werden in einfachen Worten erklärt. Die Hauptzielgruppe des Buchs ist also der Standard-Internetbenutzer.

Das hat mir gefallen

Obwohl es sich um ein Fachbuch handelt, liest es sich dank der witzigen Beispiele und der reichen Bebilderung sehr einfach. Ein weiterer Punkt: natürlich steht Google im Vordergrund, aber es werden auch sinnvolle Ergänzungen und Alternativen zu Google vorgestellt.

Das hätte ich mir gewünscht

Nicht alle Möglichkeiten von google.com finden sich auch in den Lokalausgaben wie google.de. Darauf sollte hingewiesen werden.

Fazit

Ein nützliches Buch, nach dessen Lektüre einem die tägliche Informationsbeschaffung ein gutes Stück leichter von der Hand geht. Gerade bei so häufig wiederkehrenden Tätigkeiten wie der Suche im Internet macht sich der Aufwand schnell bezahlt.Ich halte das Buch auch gut für Interneteinsteiger geeignet (sofern sie der englischen Sprache mächtig sind). - Kai Wurm, August 2004, Linux UserGroup.
