Google Hacks 2nd edition

I have just finished reading the 2nd edition of Google Hacks (2005), by Tara Calishain and Rael Dornfest. This edition is packed with new hacks and new ways to use Google. Most of the hacks require the ability to use code, but some of them can be used from the web. This edition includes chapters on Google Images, News, Groups, Desktop, and Gmail. Two examples of what I learned: Gmail supports plus-addressing, which I was not familiar with. Using this, you add a + to your Gmail address, to create a special Gmail address to use for web sign-ins, etc. If your Gmail address is spock@gmail.com, and you wanted to create a throwaway address for a website, it would look like this, spock+@gmail.com. You can add other characters after the + to be even more creative with the addresses.

I have been wishing for a Typepad directory, listing all Typepad blogs. In this book, I found a search that results in something useful along that line. Type this into the Google search box, site:typepad.com. The search result will be enormous, many thousands of hits, but it is a roster of Typepad blogs, of sorts.
