In short

Norwegian Mr. Calzone came up with a simple service of obvious utility, located at Gog.is. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to detect candy design, impressive functions or something breathtaking, because Gog.is main task is to shorten URLs. But not in the form that users of microblogging services are used to - Gog.is shortens the search query string, but the easiest way to explain this is with an example: Gog.is/habrahabr .

Any word inserted after the slash will form the corresponding query in Google search - so you can send in the right place annoying friends, curious girlfriends and all others who have not yet known all the charm and power of modern search engines.

Gog.is works elementary, for example, the address of the search query page " habrahabr gog.is " in the standard form looks like this: www.google.ru/search?hl=ru&newwindow=1&rlz=1B3GGGL_ruCZ301CZ302&q=habrahabr+gog.is&btnG=%D0%9FG D0% BE% D0% B8% D1% 81% D0% BA & lr = & aq = f & oq =
')
Using the service the same result page can be obtained at: gog.is/habrahabr gog.is

In addition, the creator (who opened this service for fun) introduced several convenient prefixes:

* shop: or s :: Will send you to Google product search. Try http://gog.is/shop:ipod
* book: or b :: Will send you to google book search. Try http://gog.is/book:poetry
* news: or n :: Will send you to Google news search. Try http://gog.is/news:google
* stock: or q :: Google finance. Try http://gog.is/stock:apple
* wiki :, or w :: gog.is will redirect to the first hit on wikipedia. Try http://gog.is/wiki:leo+laporte
* movie: or imdb: or just the same :: Imdb.com.Try http://gog.is/movie:slumdog

Here is such an elementary service of obvious utility, created as a joke, but not losing its appeal from it.
