Handy Hints: Google

Google is such a widely used search tool, that the word itself has gone from being a simple trademarked name to being an active verb – sometimes even appearing in lower case, as in ‘I googled the answer’.
And it can be used to search for just about any piece of information imaginable. For Lingo24, we often need a quick answer to a simple question and Google works very nicely for us.

Not one to shirk away from the latest new-fangled networking tools, Lingo24 can twitter, CrunchBase or YouNoodle with the best of them.
And it is fascinating how easily a company’s entire online activity can now be monitored with such ease.
