Google Unveils Search Options and Google Squared
CWmike writes "Saying that its users are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Google has unveiled a list of new search technologies geared to help users 'slice and dice' their Google search results, along with a new tool to help them cull information instead of Web pages. Marissa Mayer, vice president of Google's Search Products, said of Search Options in a blog post, 'We have spent a lot of time looking at how we can better understand the wide range of information that's on the Web and quickly connect people to just the nuggets they need at that moment.' Google Squared, set to be released to users as part of its Google Labs program later this month, pulls up information from different sites and presents it in an organized manner."
How about a a google to the googleth power?
Why does Google Squared sound like it's going to be aggregating everyone's webpage content much like Google News aggregates news articles?
How happy are website owners going to be when people can learn the facts they want without even going to the site at all? If Google thinks they have a problem with angry news websites... wait'll they start doing this to everyone... or maybe I'm not understanding this feature.
Agreed.
