Geeking For Good

Lauren Cochrane

I'm a social media and online community management geek girl who lives in Canberra and works for an Australian non-profit organisation. I blog about social media and non-profit technology at Geeking For Good, tweet as @lozz and tumble stuff I like at lozz.org. You can see my photos on Flickr and some of my videos on YouTube too.
 

Google launches special search results

From today, certain searches relating to poisons or suicide on Google.com.au will deliver special results, giving life-saving information top priority over search results.

Google launched these special search results in the US last year, and were expanded to Australia after positive feedback from users.

The partner hotlines in Australia are Lifelife and Poisons Information Centre.

Searches for certain poisoning-related terms will show a large red phone icon and the words "For a poison emergency in Australia call 13 11 26." Suicide-related terms will show a similar result: "Need help? In Australia, call 13 11 14."
