Google Index
Google, who doesn't love those guys? They brought us the best search engine in the world, gmail, google maps and google earth, Blogger and many many more nifty toys.
Today I realize that Google's homepage is a bit different, the number of indexed sites has increased. None of the regular tech sites have noticed it yet... haha, am I one of the first?? Anyway, they have increased by a sloppy 100 million sites or so.. There are, however, plenty of sites which can't be found using Google, or any other (large) search engine for that matter. This is called the invisible web, and there are ways of tapping into this relatively unused resource.
I'm a loyal Google user when it comes to searching, but when searching for particular info, other sites might be better. Or sometimes a visual approach works best (uses Google, ;-) ). A good Firefox extension can also do miracles.
