It would save me time and energy trying to find it on Google just making a description of it?

OK, but you had actual use of the app and you say you didn't use it (except for my you know what). I find that interesting.

As far as I am concerned, it really makes no difference to me. I was really just curious as to its usage. It didn't seem to have a practical application in people's daily life and I was wondering if there was something I "missed."

This is beginning to tell me that there are apps out there that people acquire because it sounds "cool." I am wondering if this is a thought-through acquisition. Maybe so, but maybe not...I haven't heard a cogent argument for acquiring it, altho I am open to suggestions...maybe there is one out there...I certainly don't know everything, that's for sure!

I couldn't have identified any of them to be honest but I scanned them with my phone leeroysphitz Jan 2012 #71

I know that is a real possibility. I just ask people not to google in that fashion and then pretend CTyankee Jan 2012 #74

it's an app called Goggles, made by Google. It recognizes landmarks leeroysphitz Jan 2012 #75

The notion of instant, effortless access to vast amounts of information is appealing. leeroysphitz Jan 2012 #83
