Google Squared – A New Way To Google

Yesterday at Google’s Searchology event they announced a new search tool they are about to unveil called Google Squared.

What does it do?

It returns search results in a spreadsheet format…with each column of the spreadsheet displaying different information about the site’s it returns.

In other words, Google is creating it’s own web page with information culled from other sites.  And this has some people upset…they think the more information Google is sharing about a site, the less people will be inclined to actually visit that site.

But I don’t exactly see the logic of that arguement…as it seems to me Google Squared will actually help people find the exact sites they want, instead of clicking back and forth between often misleading result titles.

In any case, Google Squared isn’t available to the public…yet.  But if you’d like to see what Google Squared actually looks like, you can see images of it from a Blogoscoped post here.
