I'm sure someone must have already done this and I'm just incapable of finding it (despite Googling it myself) but I figured that the only thing missing from the brilliant LetMeGoogleThatForYou was a bookmarklet, so I made one: LetMeGoogleThatForYou. Highlight text, click bookmarklet and voila - patronisation on demand.

#1: November 22, 2008 Great. Thanks for that tool! An URL generated here will follow favorite sentence: "Ask Google Before Asking Dumb Questions"
Terrific!!!!!!
Brilliant. The amount of times I've had to post a basic google link to a retarded question now I can give them clear instructions on how to follow the same simple process I did.
Hehehehe tis a cool idea, bit snobby but cool.
Interesting application. I can see many uses for this - both good and bad.
An interesting tool worthy of discovery and good exposure.
Its great. I will use.. Thanx
I am absolutely ecstatic about this site. I've used it already more times than I can count on half of my left hand!
Great but I think its just pointless and can never see it being used. Just my POV.
Why not to use this:
javascript:document.location='http://www.google.com/search?q='+escape(window.getSelection());
instead of letmegooglethatforyou.com?

Peter: LMGTFY includes a patronising turorial :)
Emmm hate to burst you bubble but emm http://www.justfuckinggoogleit.com/
@Matt: No bubble burst - LMGTFY isn't my site. I just made a bookmarklet.
Excelent, I feel better now, btw I have been looking at Active Parity, I really like how its made up. You must be really good for working for them :)
Results from LMGTFY and results from google are the same??
Dave, can you comment something good about LMGTFY? So I am convinced that it is the site that we should talk/blog about.

Wow, that's the funniest thing! Couldn't help to bust out loughing seeing that pointer move! :D
Some people ask questions (on forums etc) because they don't know what to Google. It's not always that they are too daft to google it.
http://shutupandgoogleit.com/ though the LMGTFY site does look nicer
Thanks for the write-up. For a disturbing peek into the psyche of the internet, also check out the LMGTFY live stream: http://live.lmgtfy.com
i also prefer shutupandgoogleit.com ;)
The whole point of LMGTFY.com is that it
a) Patronises the user
b) Looks pretty much like google
c) Gives them the results after a short delay
You're actually helping the person, just taking the piss first. Unlike [scuse the acronyms] JFGI (which is just a rant) and SUAGI which looks naaasty.

Excellent, I going to have to get creative to think of some uses for that
Thanks for that tool
