This weeks reading, Your Google Guide by Doug Johnson discusses the usage and the concepts behind the google craze. Now a days everyone uses google, before this invention there was an advanced search engine that could search information on the web regarding a certain topic or even a person. Google can sometimes be dangerous because any information on the web can be found about a certain person, often times employers google their employees and even people can goolge their significant other. The author gives helpful search methods to help the googler find what they are looking for on the web by using a few keywords to help simplify the search. There are certain types of searches that google can provide including an image search, scholar search, book search, and a map search. 

Questions: 1.)What is the best way to find information using Google on American Airlines? The best way to find information on the web  regarding American Airlines would be to do an advanced search by typing in "American Airlines" not just "American" or "airlines" because you would receive a whole bunch of information to do with americans an airlines. You must be case specific and make sure you have the correct spelling of the search word.  

2.)How can you use google to find a information on a certain person? First you need to know the full name of the person, for example if you wanted to find information about me, Angela Salemme, you would put in my full name in the search part. Then another way is to add keywords to the name especially if the person has a really common name. But in my case not to many people have my name, but if they did you could find me in particular by adding the keyword "yoga" and that would bring up information on me.
