In this game, designed for ages 8-10, the CyberPigs play on their favourite Web site and encounter marketing ploys, spam and a close encounter with a not-too-friendly wolf. The purpose of the game is to teach kids how to spot online marketing strategies, protect their personal information and avoid online predators.

"...web search results for certain topics are just overloaded with "search engine dummy websites with little to no valuable content, many of which have utilized “search engine optimization” (SEO) tactics... That’s what a neat hack called MillionShort aims to help with. The website is a search engine that lets you remove the top million (or 100,000, or 10,000, or whatever) hits from the results list. It’s a lot like pruning a plant, or skimming the film off the top of a stew: MillionShort lets you remove the old or non-useful stuff from traditional web search to find new or interesting content." One of the features is that it lists the sites that is not showing you (as seen in the right column in the image).

Have you wondered just how Google performs a search? If so you are in luck because Google has added a new feature on their Inside Search page which walks you through the steps taken when you type in a search term. Some of the statistics provided are amazing.
"Did you know the web had over 30 trillion pages, by the way? Or that Google supports over 100 billion searches every month? Or that Google’s index is over 100 million gigabytes?"
