Google Announces 'Google Movies'
NW writes "Over at the official Google Blog, a new Google feature was announced - Google Movies. When using the 'movie:' operator in Google, it brings up movie reviews. At the first glance it looks like a custom search across movie review sites. There are also movie 'home pages' like this one which aggregate all reviews AND calculate the total score based on the number of stars. It looks like something similar to Google News - parsing all the reviews and it remains to be seen whether it will be expanded to something like IMDB. There is also no ads, probably for the same reason as Google News. The bottom of the page states 'The selection and placement of reviews on this page were determined automatically by a computer program. No movie critics were harmed or even used in the making of this page.'"
You can get all sorts of information on movies from Booble. http://www.booble.com/
It could be worse, it could be Monday.
If I type "movie:Lord of the Rings type=torrent" will it bring up links to the torrents along with the reviews?
And I quote, "Popcorn and a date to snuggle up with are up to you. For now."
Here's hoping for the best with all of their future plans!
Ahh, now the interesting question here is whether you meant to say "I'm willing to bet someone will pay something for this algorithm to favour them" or "I'm willing to bed someone who will pay something for this algorithm to favour them."
Freudian slip? YOU MAKE THE CALL!
