LMGTFY

We've all had those moments where someone emails us a question that could've been answered with a simple Google search. Things like "What does IIS stand for?" "How many GB in a TB?" "What's the capital of Iceland?" (ok, I've never actually been asked that one, but you know what I mean).

For those moments when you're feeling just a little snarky at someone for throwing one of these questions your way, there's Let Me Google That For You. LMGTFY takes a question and creates a URL that you can email in response to the question. When your associate clicks the link, they'll see a vid of the question being typed into the Google home page and the Google Search button being clicked, followed by a message saying "Was that so hard?" Then the user is taken to the actual results of the search.

Here's a sample with the aforementioned "What's the capital of Iceland?" question. Enjoy!
