Google squared is very new and should only get better.  Getting structured results is a pretty new way of doing search and it seems like Google has hit the nail on the head with this.  I’m anxious to use it to get better targeted search results for things like products I want to promote as an affiliate, for example this search for pickup trucks.  As you can see, this is a much better way to do research that a typical Google search result for pickup trucks.  The Squared search results break down individual truck makes and models, gives me a picture of each truck, a description of each truck, features of each truck, all without leaving the search results page.  The typical search results page gives me a list of results with mostly pickups for sale.

Give Google Squared a go and see what it does to improve your researching.

It’s a fairly long presentation.  Basically Wave works to make everything you do to communicate and collaborate real time.  The interface looks like Gmail but it’s not just about messages, it lets you create tons of content in an easy way that is able to be edited and added to by any one that is involved in that “Wave.”  Want to reply to a particular part of a Wave?  You can add content to a Wave anywhere you wish, like a comment.  And all of this is done in a browser in real time.  You can also add a new person to a Wave at any point and they would see that wave in it’s entirety.  If this new person wants to see the Wave from when it first started there is a playback button that shows the Wave from the original content up to that point.

Google Wave

Google Wave is supposed to be released to the masses sometime later this year.  There is an open API for developers that will allow Wave to be extended in tons of different ways.  Google has big plans with this and looks like it’s trying to incorporate everything you do on the web into one place.  Let’s hope Google is still the good guy.
