Interesting list- I'm surprised by some of them... Keio University is #35? Scientific organizations seem to have it dialed- big surprise.

As you may know, the Google search box can take you directly to some resources, based on the words you use to search. These are called look-ups. A couple of basics:

  • define: (insert word) will take you to a page of definitions
  • link: (insert domain) will list all the pages linking to that site
  • Entering an address (street and city) will provide Yahoo!/Mapquest Maps at the top of the page.

 

Aaron Swartz recently posted a list of new look-ups. These are pretty handy, in my opinion...

Google has added more search by number features:

  • Area Codes, e.g. 650, bring up maps.
