Led me to http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/ Funniest single serving site ever. You need to try it out, for example: http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=something

LOL, that's awesome! A few years ago I had a similar idea and registered googlefor.info, but like so many of my "site ideas", time got the best of it.

Now I just need to remember to letmegooglethatforyou.com'ify every question someone asks me before I tell them "just Google it!".

P.S. You can use these for marketing your startup, guys.

Putting linkbait on its own dedicated domain makes it easier to spread, as you can give it a Zenlike purity of purpose. (I've used several of these -- like whattimeisit.com or whatismyip.com -- for years but the first one I ever said would go viral in a day was isbarackobamamuslim.com . Taps passion and has a built-in value proposition for anyone putting a link to it anywhere.)

Really, a domain name costs $10 these days and you can have a Wordpress blog up, themed, and filled with content in under an hour. If you have a good idea, that good idea probably rates buying a domain name for it. There are SEO-related reasons why I'd keep most of my good ideas on my main domain(s), but there are at least a few "pillar pieces" I'm strongly considering domainifying. Plus you can always built them out later if you own the domain.

I dipped my toes in the water for my business this year. Truth be known: hasn't been that successful as of today, but I learned from the experience. See write-up @ blog: http://kalzumeus.com/2008/12/13/learning-from-a-specific-exa...

That's even better than justfuckinggoogleit.com, which has been around for years. I wish they'd take you to a standard results page, though.
