Google Squared

[Codehead]

An interesting idea from Google.

Google Squared builds fact tables from queries.

Planets of the solar system - Google Squared

I like the fact you can request extra columns after the seach completes.

Nice idea but only really works for permanent facts, you couldn't use it perfectly for example: liverpool players - Google Squared

Why oh why oh why was Google not around when I was doing Homework

Thanks, I'll pass this on to the client

Nice idea, obviously still needs some work...

Pluto, Ceres, Kuiper Belt, Titan and Voyager are not planets and Pluto's orbit is not 6.4 days

Wow, add a new column for weight... apparently neptune only weighs 112 pounds.

The challenge is to find amusing columns to add now

*edit* apparently most of the planets are white/Caucasian when typing in ethnicity

*edit again*

Saturn. Orientation: Seat belts only - Rear facing 2nd row - Passenger side

The problem with calculating the weight of a planet is the weight of something depends on the gravity. That is why there is an option for the Mass of the planets as that would be the proper question to ask.

Adding sex gives Jupiter as male, Venus as female and Uranus is superb

I'm guessing it's going to require a shoe on the head too

Anywho I plan on staying single until after Christmas, it's in my financial interest to do so


On topic: Population gives 52.6 people on mercury and 910 on venus!

Well apprently Jupiter is male, Venus is Female (no surprise there) and Uranus is superb

EDIT: I'm too slow...

I was quite impressed at first, but then when I tried to create new ones about areas I'm very familiar with I found quite a few errors.

Easy enough to spot when you know the subject well, but if I are using it for a subject I'm not familiar with I would not be confident with the info it returns.

Very nice idea though.

Cheers,

Nigel

Wolfram Alpha does it much better, looks like Google is getting a little scared of the new search engine on the block
