Google Squared is Live!
A few weeks ago, Google announced a forthcoming search computation project called Google Squared. It's now live at http://www.google.com/squared (h/t Google Blogoscoped). Go explore your deepest need for knowledge via the spreadsheet results provided by Google Squared.
Warning: This search is terribly imperfect. A search for Dunkin' Donuts flavors returned a single row: coffee. And while DD coffee is really good, I wanted a spreadsheet of the different kinds of donuts they offer.
However, searching for the different types of thyroid cancer was, at least, moderately more productive.
As always, go check it out for yourself and let us know what you think in the comments below.

In fact I am really disppointed by GSquarred.
It should have been : "your search results put in smart table"
But it is only : a strong selection of only ONE ROW by item put in a smart table.
So where a google search results in thousands of rows, a GSquarred frequently gives five or ten !
And no easy way to get these missing rows.
I do this writing because I am a Google fan and I really think that this big default could be changed esyly.

Google Squared appears to be similar to my patent application:
Frankly, I am getting a Déjà vu effect while going through the “Google Squared” application because it appears to be very similar in function to my United States patent application which was filed on April 12, 2007 and as publicly disclosed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on October 16, 2008, when the patent application was published.
My patent application is titled as “Method And System For Research Using Computer Based Simultaneous Comparison And Contrasting Of A Multiplicity Of Subjects Having Specific Attributes Within Specific Contexts” bearing Document Number “20080256023” and Inventor name “Nair Satheesh” which may be viewed at http://patft.uspto.gov/ upon Patent Applications: Quick Search.
Google Squared appears to be using at least some if not many of the same methods and systems as set forth by me more than two years ago in my patent application. In fact there are many more methods and systems disclosed in my patent application which I believe will help resolve certain inaccuracies found in current Google Squared application.
I have issued legal notices to Google through my Patent Attorney in the US but Google has not responded yet to any of my notices.
