Think your research skills are top-notch? Try A Google A Day!

How does it work? - Google ask's a question - "An 11-foot bird lives less than two miles from 30.891383,-102.885032. What's his name?" - You find the answer

Put your search skills and Google's tools to use - For instance, you can enter 30.891383, -102.885032 right inside the search bar, and learn that it's directly in the center of Ft. Stockton, TX. A quick Search for [Giant bird ft stockton TX] (or perhaps you're the adventurous type who'll "walk" there in Street View) and you'll have your bird: Paisano Pete.

Why is this important? - With more and more of the world's content online, it is critical that we understand how to effectively use a web search to find quality sources appropriate to our tasks.

'A Google A Day' challenge helps you put your research skills to the test!
