<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis whole process takes about 15 seconds, but there\u2019s got to be a faster way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Google Docs Hack: short links<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nGoogle has realized this process is inefficient and has created a Google Doc hack: a few short links that will allow you to quickly and easily access new sheets, docs, and slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- sheet.new<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- doc.new<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- slide.new<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Each of these will create a new document for you instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go ahead type it into your browser now and see for yourself: doc.new<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Google](\"https:\/\/images.golinks.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/03165515\/golinks_new_doc_example.gif\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis may only save you 15 seconds now, however, over time you\u2019ll be faster and more efficient at creating docs, sheets, and slides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google has another secret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- email.new<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- mail.new<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- cal.new<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Now try to access these in your browser. Notice you\u2019ll be sent to goto.google.com and presented with a Google Employee Login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s going on here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are an employee of Google you can use mail.new and cal.new to create a new email template or a new calendar event. However, if you are not an Employee of Google you can\u2019t access these internal resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google has created its own redirect engine at the subdomain goto.google.com. This allows Google Employees to quickly access the resources they use every day with just a short keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wouldn\u2019t you like your company to use the same technique that Google uses to allow employees to access internal company resources quickly and easily?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, it would be nearly impossible to register a .new domain for every new application that you want to access, and you\u2019d have to compete with everyone in the world to register those domains to the right URL. However, there is a way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
