Google invests in firm that tries to predict the future

• Anon84 17y ago
  My first question is... did the company predict this investment?

  Essentially linkbait title. They do searches on future events by capturing date keywords. (via the videos on: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1317709 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1317709 ) Makes a lot of sense for Google to go for them, as they already have search-by-post-date. Search-by-content-date is a perfect addition to Google, and if they tried to make it themselves they'd probably get nailed with a patent case.

  Doesn't every business try to predict the future?

  Planning is guessing, Google. Didn't you read Rework?
