We almost missed this due to a massive F.O.G. bank clouding the horizon, but according to a group of rabble-rousing bloggers, today is supposed to be “A Day Without Google.” Stop laughing and pay attention. The day is almost gone, but you still have time to participate and attempt to wean yourself off your slavish addiction to The Big G. Here are some of the ground rules as laid out by the AltSearchEngines blog…

1. All day Tuesday, June 12th, don’t use any of the 5 major search engines.

2. Avoid Meta search engines, since most of them include the major search engines.

3. Likewise, the specialized vertical search engines may be too narrowly focused.

4. Consider changing your homepage or downloading their toolbar. You can always uninstall everything and change back on Wednesday.
