Where have I seen you before?
I love IMDB. I'm one of those people who recognises an actor on TV and must immediately know where from. So, I'm straight onto IMDB with the name of the production and scanning the cast list - then get lost in looking what else I've seen them in, looking at who else was in a cast with them, looking what else the other cast members have done... it's like a trap! Wouldn't be without it, though.

Easy setup
Much quicker than typing questions into my phone!
I just got my Mini and I love it. Not sure the cat trusts it yet though - she goes on alert every time I ask it to do anything!
I can ask the Mini for radio stations I can only listen to online and it's playing within seconds, which I love. I listen to a lot of music and my app of choice is Deezer. It took a while to get that connected, but it was down to my phone rather than the Mini (resolved as soon as I set the default browser to Samsung Internet).
And, a little thing, but I love it - my clock battery has run down so just saying 'Hey Google, what time is it?' has been very useful. I also found it really useful when cooking to say 'alert me in 25 minutes'.
So far, it seems I can ask pretty much anything and it'll have an answer of some sort, but I'm still learning what it can do. I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun.
