Google Squared
Google Squared is a search tool that helps you quickly build a collection of facts from the Web for any topic you specify.
* Facts about your topic are organized as a table of items and attributes (we call them "Squares" for fun).
* Customize these Squares to see just the items and attributes you're interested in.
* See the websites that served as sources for the information in your Square.
* Save and share Squares with others.
For example, say you're curious about which roller coasters are the fastest, tallest, and longest in the world. Until now, you would have had to comb through dozens of webpages to compile the information you're looking for. With Google Squared, all you have to do is type [ roller coasters ] into the search box at http://www.google.com/squared and click Square it to see an automatically generated table of roller coasters and their attributes.
