During yesterday's Oprah “Mothers Battle Autism” show, in which Jenny McCarthy discussed her son Evan's autism, she mentioned that she went straight to Google after receiving his diagnosis to begin researching a way to help her son out of his ‘trap'. <\/p>\n
She immediately found a ton of great dietary information (i.e. eliminate wheat, milk and artificial coloring) that did in fact help her to help her son start breaking down those walls. <\/p>\n
Oprah responded by saying “Thank God for Google!<\/em>“.<\/p>\n No kidding. <\/strong>I often wonder how the heck we all actually managed to accomplish anything before we could ‘Google it!'. <\/p>\n As an online entrepeneur, I probably use Google's services more than the average person. But like Jenny and Oprah, I use Google.com to find answers to all sorts of different questions – beyond the new and weather that I peruse every day. <\/p>\n Questions related to health, finance, entertainment, shopping, TV and technology. <\/p>\n I use it to expand my culinary expertise and experience, i.e. I found a recipe for lamb shahi korma that was so delicious that an East Indian friend asked for the recipe after I prepared it for him. <\/p>\n I also use Google to find fabulous out-of-the-way vacation spots about which my travel agent doesn't even know, and use Google Earth to do virtual trips around the planet. <\/p>\n Forget wasting money on long distance telephone calls, my friends and I have agree that Google Talk's reception is better than either phone or Skype, not to mention free. We share and manage project doduments using Google Docs.<\/p>\n That's just the tip of the Google iceberg, but here is a list of 15 Google services that I use regularly.<\/p>\n So, like Oprah, I too am thankful for Google and particularly grateful to its creators, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. <\/p>\n So… which Google services do you like and use?<\/p>\n\n
