1. Phone Book– type a person’s name, city and state into the search box and google will deliver phone and address listings.
2.Calculate– type a math problem and google will calculate it.
3.Dictionary– type define followed by any English word and google will give you a quick definition.
4.Maps, driving directions and satelite views– enter a city and state (or just a zip code) into the search box.
5.I’m feeling lucky– enter a search item and click this button on the google home page to go directly to the top matching web page for your query.
6.Forecast Weather– Type weather followed by a zip code or name of a city and google will give you the current conditions and a four day forecast.
7.Use the ~ character– put it before a word, with no space in-between to have google look for pages with both that term and its synonyms.
8.Use quotation marks when precision matters. Adding quoation marks around a query tells google to look for ocurences of the exact phrase as it was typed. Helpful when looking for lyrics, people’s names or famous expressions.

CFS Analysis (part 2 of 2)
GOTO part 1 of 2
You must then identify key decisions required for the success of each CSF. The key decisions are then used to identify the information requirements. This ensures that there is a link between what must be done and why it is needed i.e it either supports a key decision or forms a performance indicator.
Once you identify the information requirements, gather the information to enable the taking of the key decisions so as to achieve the CSF. The success of this achievment is then measured against the performance indicator of the CSF. Simple.
For example: In oil mining, minimising oil well uncertainty is a CSF. A key decision could be estimating the profitability of drilling sets. Here, information requirements may be: engineering calculations and geological data. Collect the data, perform the calculations and you will be able to estimate the profitability of drilling sets thus minimising oil well uncertainty.
