Search Smarter with Google Squared

Google Squared organizes information into tabular form based on your search query. The upside to using this particular service is that it “squares in” and narrows down your search, especially if you’re looking for something a bit more specific. If you’re looking for, say, comic conventions, but doing a regular search in Google brings up very broad results, using Google Squared will actually return a list of popular conventions that have been on the radar. This could make it easier to retrieve specific data for hasty decision making. And even if your square isn’t perfect at the beginning, Google Squared can be tinkered with to ensure that you get a better answer.

Sift Through Video with Google Audio Indexing

Sifting through streaming video is as agonizing as rewinding and fast forwarding through VHS on a VCR.  Whether it’s fast forward or rewind, you never know where you’re going to end up. That’s where Google Audio Indexing becomes a key player. It’s great when you need to sift through a variety of political videos seeking specific quotes or looking to catch up on recent news.

Audio Indexing works so that you type a popular subject into a search query and it returns a list of the most watched videos on the Internet, accompanied with bookmarks of each time your search word is mentioned. You can also post a video to a few of your social networking profiles should the video catch the interest of your followers. Either way, it seems that when it comes to dissecting politics, Google has managed to do it in a way that is both unbiased and informative.

Find Look-a-Likes with Google Similar Images
