Google Me!

I was surfing around the web this evening while watching the Sox (who FINALLY have a lead here at 10:14pm). While surfing, I accidentally discovered something fantastic built into the ‘Safari’ web browser.

What I found was that if you highlight and ‘ctrl’ click on text you have the option to automatically run a google search. WOW! I thought that was pretty cool. Especially if you’re reading a website and you come across a word that you don’t know, you can just highlight and click and get the defination from several different sources!

I guess something that would make it a little better is if the google site would open up in a new window or tab. That way I wouldn’t lose the original site while checking out Google.

So, to wrap up: I think that Google feature in Safari is cool. If you don’t use a Mac or use something inferior to Safari for browsing the web, you have my sympathies.
