LMGTFY TextExpander Snippet

I am a huge fan of TextExpander. Once you realize the usefulness of this add-on, you will kick yourself for not using it sooner. I am also a fan of Let Me Google That For You, since I was present at the lunch meeting when the idea was born. I posted this snippet on Twitter the day LMGTFY went live, but I feel the need to share it again here. Credit to Ryan for the clever ruby code.

How to use:

1. Highlight and copy the question to your clipboard.  Example “How do I print a webpage to PDF?”
2. Activate the TextExpander snippet, I prefix my snippets with a period like so  ”.goog”
3. The resulting info is pasted into the text field, IM chat window, email message or any other text input area.

Imagine the fun you can have on unsuspecting people.

Enjoy!
