One of the more interesting things Steven Johnson writes in Everything Bad is Good for You is that Google is the way our generation learns about itself. I think it's a bit of a broad claim, but it's still a fun thought. I was thinking about this quotation when I stumbled across this little game. It's a fascinating new media game with a very simple gimmick--you are presented with a collage of images based on a Google search, and your job is to determine the keyword. I wasn't able to get a single point, but maybe you'll have better luck. If you like Guess a Google, you'll also want to check out Montage a Google, which lets you build your own Google collages based on keywords. Have fun!

Guess the Google!
FUN! I love this game. I got 260 points, about 90 points short of the today's top scorers list. :-(

Google Guessing
Heh, I know what you mean, Clancy. My students are complaining that they can't tear themselves away from the Google Guessing Game to do their blogging for the week. :-P
