Google Expanding To IRC?

AnimeFreak writes "In this The Register article, Google apparently has been involved in a little bit of activity in various IRC channels. According to Google, as asked by IRC Junkie: they're researching ways to improve their service and the activity is only temporary. Could this mean an ability to search for information that is contained on IRC? Services, such as Netsplit.de and Search IRC exist, and both allow the ability to get information from various IRC networks. Is Google trying to replicate what both these sites have done?"

    2005 - Google indexes all the things ever said on soap operas and talk radio.

    2007 - Did you forget what you said in your high school cafeteria in 1998? Don't worry, Google now has it indexed.

    2010 - Lost your car keys? Don't worry, Google knows. Just do a search and you will find them.
