Internet search service Google, no longer content with indexing the internet, has announced a new service to index real life. "It will make it easier to find things, even if it is not on the internet" said a Google spokesperson.
Google is dispatching roaming teams of people it calls "bots" around the nation to take notes. They go door to door and ask permission to enter a building, and if they are allowed to enter they observe everything, take notes, and photos and then quietly leave.
Debora Ediciones of Chicago has already used the service and likes it. "I couldn't find my keys. So, I tried Google's new service and it told me they were in the third drawer in the kitchen counter. Thanks Google, now I have my keys."
But others believe the service is an intrusion. Cletus Harris of Bunker, Florida is one of them. "These people came and wanted to have a look 'round. I said 'ok' and they looked, took notes, and left. A few days later, I woke up to find someone in my trailer look'en at my stuffed bass! They said they found it on Google. I grabbed my rifle and ran'em off. The next day, there's people in my yard look'en at my old 1965 Mustang transmission. I ran'em off too."
Google replied that Mr. Harris's "hits" have increased 700% since being listed.
