treeduck Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I haven't used Google since 2012. Well, the maps I use. Google Maps and Google Earth are my friends. But none of the rest of it. Google "Royal Thunder" and try some songs. I think you'd love them! Burning Trees or April Showers are good starting points... Well, I can do a search on the internet for them. But I won't be using Google. It's curious how 'Google', the verb, has entered the vernacular. To me, it's just a company. Anyway, enough of my nonsense...okay, I'll look for it! Google is the most popular search engine in the world. Plus you've got gmail, google play and whatever else they've got their name in. So, it should be no surprise that the word has entered the popular vernacular. What search engine do you use and what do you have against using google? As for Mr. Rogers question, yes, i've been doing that with songs/bands when I hear them for many years now. When one company changes its privacy policy and it makes national headlines...I smell something fishy, that's all. That's what happened, five years ago, and I stopped right there. Yes, I'm aware of how omnipresent Google is. But the interwebs are certainly navigable without it.Bing and Ask Jeeves are also acceptable if you approve of their privacy policies.DuckDuckGo is much better for privacy. As for looking up songs, I usually do that for ones I hear on commercials. It's almost like some bands write songs knowing they'll end up in a commercial.

Fordgalaxy Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I've used Google several times to find out about a song I hear on a commercial. Some of them I go on to buy. This was one of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyL4c_LDCl0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google is a great service but with shit policy, and it's concerning that they're basically trying to monopolize the internet. But you're right, people who dislike google and use alternatives are clearly just silly hipsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I google songs all the time. And if a song references something I google that as well. (Like if a band sings about something important locally or historically to them, I have to google it. The process and the intent even changes my opinion of a song sometimes, if I then understand more about why they chose to write the way they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
