Comments on: Google Squared goes live with mixed results

Google's latest search experiment presents results in spreadsheet form, which could be very useful for researchers if the data returned was useful rather than amusing.

For a good laugh, google squared "caveman copyright" without the quotes.

It actually works relatively well for music albums, but try searching for "windows versions" and the results are less trustworthy. On the other hand "linux distributions" yields a nice spreadsheet. Overall, this can be useful.

The results hardly make any sense. This kind of thing still needs to have some human intelligence mixed in; compare to http://www.noodlesquares.com.

its really intereating to work on google squared. It made me so curious to know some fact: as i found it fetch some information about the search from any other site. and the site which are visible in normal google search are not all visible for particular keyword. What to do if i want to see that website here. The website is ranked at first position for that keyword i was searching. Will you please help me to find these facts.

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.
