#College tips by Google: Are you doing it right?

Google puts up a post titled College Tips by Google. Seriously, its difficult to do things without Google. Be it preparing for exams or travelling. Few years back it was TV that caused the most distractions in my life well now its Google. Those ads which appear all over the net, many times diverts me from what i am looking for.



Found an article on TechCrunch related to this post. the author describes the uses of all Google services for College students. 


This is what the article reads.

  • Google Maps – Drunkenly find your way back to/from the frat house
  • Google Docs – Get your classmates to do all the work for you, edit your name in at the end
  • Google Hangouts – Have video chat sex with your girlfriend who’s studying abroad
  • Gmail – Sign up for 46 clubs, read newsletters, never attend meetings
  • Google Places – Find the nearest place to buy red cups and ping pong balls
  • Google Calendar – Ignore your alerts until you have 3 hours to write that 20 page paper
  • Google Chrome – Roommate away for the weekend? New Incognito Window
  • Google Scholar – Cite books you never read, or don’t, plagiarizing is easier
  • Google Sites – Set up a protest site to stick it to the fascist school administration for banning kegs from the library
  • Google Tasks – Feel guilty about all the reading you never do
  • Google Advisor – Find the best 3rd credit card so you don’t run out of beer money
  • Google Groups - Contribute nothing to the study group but read everyone else’s summaries
  • Google Goggles – Scan your art history exam and get those obscure artist names
  • Google Product Search – Buy your text books a week before finals
  • Google Flight Search – Springbreak!!!
  • Google+ – (no use)
Hey i use many of these services the same way. And its the first time i ve come across the rest.
