I’ve posted about Google Search Stories here and here, so I don’t want to belabor the subject (especially since the “story” quality is questionable with this fun tool).
But the wonderful site Women’s Memoirs ran a Google Search Story contest, the winners of which I felt were worth sharing.
Words about the winners from Women’s Memoirs (given that last names are not used, I’m guessing that the winners are part of the Women’s Memoirs community):
In “The Dream Year,” Barbara tells of her and Alan’s decision to take a year off from work to travel and blog about the experience. Her Search Story tells of planning a road trip, researching RVs and learning how to blog. In fact, Barbara and Alan created a blog called The Dream Year.
Tricia went an entirely different direction. Actually it’s a very personal piece. She calls it “Living for Me,” [embedded below] and it’s her story about her daughter’s journey from struggling teen to independent young adult.
Yes, these are both nice, but the fact that they need setup shows the limitations of Google searches as storytelling media.
