Scavenger Hunt

Just the other day an acquaintance was commenting that, in spite of the fact that there are pages and pages on just about anything you'd ever want to know on the internet, she gets bored with it.

Today's Online Scavenger Hunt reminded me once again about how deep that internet rabbit hole goes... and also of the power of google. I'll be honest: I had no idea what a tag cloud was before I started. And yeah, okay, that means it took me two searches to get to the answer instead of one (one on "tag cloud" and the other on the site I needed the tag cloud for), but I still had a quick, easy way to get to the answer literally at my fingertips.

In the end the Scavenger Hunt concept made me search for things I might never have known were out there if I hadn't been directed to find it.
