We all know someone who can benefit from this cute little site.

Let me Google that for you” is for all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves.

Take it for a spin and tuck it aside for your more annoying friends.

Got a question? Let me Google that for you

The idea came about yesterday during a lunch between Garvin and fellow software developers, he said in an e-mail. “‘Let me Google that for you’ is something I think most people in the IT field have had to say to someone they were frustrated with,” Garvin wrote. “For me and a few people I know, it happens with regular frequency.”

After the lunch, Garvin immediately went to work on coding Let Me Google That For You. The website, which launched this morning, has already racked up more than 250,000 hits.

The applications are endless. Let’s say, for example, that you are my brother and you get an e-mail from me about how to hook up my guitar to record music on a Mac. You reply to my message with this link, then revel in having knocked off a piece of my dignity. Fun, right?
