Google Squared is now available in Google labs. Google squared is a research tool that lets you view search results in squares. You can remove content, add suggested columns of your own, and save your squares for future access.
Google says:
Google Squared is an experimental tool that takes a category (like US presidents, roller coasters, or digital cameras) and attempts to create a starter “square” of information, automatically fetching and organizing facts from across the web. You can modify your square by removing rows and columns you don’t like–or by adding new rows and columns and having Google Squared attempt to fetch the relevant facts. Verify and correct the facts in your square by exploring the original sources and investigating other possible values. If you’re happy with your square you can save it and come back to it later. Google Squared does the grunt work for you, making research fast and easy.
I tried it, and at first I found the format confusing. I was expecting it to organize websites, but instead it finds and organizes facts. Imagine Wikipedia on steroids. Google Squared is still in labs, so it’s still a little weak, but I can definitely see the potential.
