Hilarious Google Video

So many of you watched that iPod parody video I posted from Saturday Night Live not long ago thatI thought you'd love this funny promotional video that explains in just 32 seconds why you may want to use a terrific map tool like Google Maps to get the right directions to make that important appointment.

The range of services Google provides for free -- from viewing the Earth to classified ads to reading books -- is indeed awesome.

Google is my favorite search engine, as it is for many of you as well. I was one of the first few thousand people to start using it shortly after it went beta out of Stanford in the late '90s.

It was obvious that it was far better than anything else out there and the company has continued to excel. Their commitment to excellence, integrity and focus is a model for all of us who have Web sites.
