Can GuiGooG replace Google Search Engine?

aliasonly — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 20:24:55 GMT

Can't help admitting that I am in the caption game this time, as GuiGooG is based on Google search engine, its search results come from Google, but the search selections it provides make it very convenient to search, and it also collects results from other socialized websites, and can also search according to time slots and document types. In fact, Google could have all of these functionalities, but due to some well known reasons, GuiGooG is still a pretty good search tool to replace Google’s so far.

But in regards to functionality, GuiGooG having the search selections put on home page is still very convenient:

1. Can set up any time slots for search results;

2. Can set up any language for search results;

3. Can include search results from Twitter, Friendfeed and Myfacebook etc. in it;

4. Can directly search various types of files.

Watsonxu said：In fact, in regards to functionality, GuiGooG’s functionality is based on Google, and is not superior to Google; it is however a pretty good choice to use GuiGooG in our country at present.

Another way to share Google visiting in the country is: Go direct to visit www.google.com/ncr (ncr at the end probably means “no country redirect), and then set the language item in “preferences” to Chinese, and that’s done.

Some useful web proxies

amy_zw — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 01:48:03 GMT

For some reason, certain foreign websites cannot be visited without proxy. Of course, the problem can be solved by installing proxy softwares, e.g. tor. However, you may find it relatively complicated to do installation and configuration. Here I would like to share with you some web proxy websites (also known as web proxy).

1. Pkblgs: It is used for visiting blogspot.com websites. Meanwhile, http://www.pkblogs.com/blogname (blogname is blogger's user name) can also be used to visit your blogspot websites.

2. Inblogs: Like pkblogs, it's a website proxy used for visiting blogspot. Alternatively, http://www.inblogs.net/blogname is another way to access your blogspot, which is more stable than pkblogs. (It seems that pkblogs is not very stable recently.)

3. A-bug: The speed is a bit slow.

4. proxyol: It can be used to manage whether to delete script, whether to show pictures, etc.

5. proxyass: Its speed is faster.

6. anonymouse: The speed is average.

7. 9i7.cn: One of domestic web proxies with good speed.

In fact, there are many similar web proxies, but some are slow, while some may be crammed with annoying advertising. Only a few proxies are listed here. If you know or find out any other good web proxy, please inform me as soon as possible so that we may share with more people.
