Google: What do you love?
- Skywing 15y agoIs this anything more than one giant advertisement for all of their products? It didn't seem to actually do anything.
- yogsototh 15y agoExactly what I believe. I tried "haskell" and "epistemology". See epistemology in 3D with sketch?
- mattdeboard 15y agoI tried a vulgar word for a certain part of the female body that I legitimately love. The results were... humorous.
- uprightnetizen 15y agoFor me, the obvious choice was "japanese women"... http://www.wdyl.com/#japanese%20women http://www.wdyl.com/#japanese%20women
- thristian 15y ago"Explore Japanese women in 3D". Well, that's an unfortunate template-instantiation.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoI got the same templates; I typed "gay sex". ... it asked what I loved...
- sneak 15y agoTry "Goatse"
- LukeFitz 15y agoAll of the generated stuff made me laugh. "Scour the earth for Japanese women"
- nhoj 15y agoFind patents about japanese women?
- pavpanchekha 15y agoPlan your Japanese women? Buy Japanese women stuff? C'mon Google, your NL processing can do better than that...
- hanibash 15y agoI was hoping I would see a beautiful visualization of what people across the world love. Instead it poured out a bunch of information. Why does this seem typically Google?
- anigbrowl 15y agohttp://www.wdyl.com/#half-baked http://www.wdyl.com/#half-baked ideas ^ Way to not make your 3+ word searches linkable. Hmmm.
- rishi 15y agolooks like pintrest
- franze 15y agolooks like www.123people.com (the box sections) design wise - maybe google will start to be his own landing page aggregator soon.
- redthrowaway 15y agoCool idea, but: http://www.wdyl.com/#The%20Internet http://www.wdyl.com/#The%20Internet Execution's a bit off.
- ez77 15y agoIt is interesting: the hosting is indeed by an IP address that points to Google's 1e100.net, but the domain's registrant is not Google, rather an individual. Moreover, the name servers are hosted by fabulous.com. Go figure...
- tmgrhm 15y agoI'd hazard a guess at saying this was a 20% project and the individual is the engineer who led (or was sole member of) the project.
- pavpanchekha 15y ago"Schedule a date with Emacs" --- algorithms say the darndest things. But more seriously, the execution isn't that great. They could at least filter the products that don't produce useful results. At the moment, product search is only advertising its incompetence by telling me it found nothing. Also, given the built-in obviously-fill-in-the-blank screenshots and text, I'm not actually inclined to use their products. Plus, for what "X" are both "Patents about X" and "Date with X" meaningful statements?
- buro9 15y agoSo this is just a mashup page using most of their API's, but without any real smartness to what is shown... so it ends up looking and feeling like a mashup from 5 years ago. Poor execution unfortunately. A better thing to do from the outset would be: If nothing is found close that box and put it at the bottom. That would be something fractionally better than pretending it's meaningful to search for patents or use SketchUp on meaningless things.
- praptak 15y agoIf you view it as a way to expose the less popular Google services then it's probably great performance-vs-effort-wise. As a useful service probably not but who said Google won't improve it?
- Thasc 15y agoThis is an extraordinarily entertaining thing to put rude words into.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoIf you didn't notice, they're actually rendering mocked images of the searches. Which is funny considering the search term I started out with.
- paganel 15y agoWhy would I need to "Find patents about" my favorite soccer team?
- keke_ta 15y agolooks like sweet.
- keke_ta 15y agoI want to use this with iPad like turning the page.
- paulnelligan 15y agoDespite the criticisms, I actually think that this is the best thing that Google has turned out in the past 5 years ...
- hammerdr 15y agoExecution may be poor, but this is definitely something Google has needed to do for some time. They have many services which serve niches but the popularity of those services is, in part, bounded because no-one knows about them!
- paulnelligan 15y agoI think they could have done much more with wave - I would have got far more benefit from it if they linked it to my gmail in some inventive and unintrusive way ... I'd like to see them rework it because I think it's a really great product ... I also think they could do something more with search by customizing results based on browsing history ... Maybe this +1 button should be contained within the browser and marketed more as something which stores previous results which can be called up by search (as well as sharing with 'friends') - could be a back door into social searching which they so badly need ... They could take up the mantle of delicious, and make it more social ...
- zobzu 15y agorather bad lol most of it is a Chrome and Android advertisement also.
- lovskogen 15y agoI did really love the hit on 'something'; http://cl.ly/7z3B http://cl.ly/7z3B (jpg)
- zeddez 15y agoi get the same type of result for 'gmail'. Most of the queries result in pictures of women showing panties or in thongs.
- phatbyte 15y agoWho created this ? Some google internship ? Sorry Google, not this time
- sneak 15y agoMan Google, you really nailed it: http://i.imgur.com/TNSKN.png http://i.imgur.com/TNSKN.png

- ashishb4u 15y agolove the little scroll-widget on the left, beautifully done.
- jpr 15y ago"Explore boobs in 3D" disappointed me.
- hammock 15y agoFirst thing I typed in, reflexively, was "shit." To great unexpected effect. Measure popularity of shit on the web. Explore shit in 3d. Buy all kinds of shit stuff. Make a photo album about shit. Watch videos of shit. Plan your shit events. Start a shit discussion group. Find shit nearby.
- ZackOfAllTrades 15y agohttp://www.wdyl.com/#lolcats http://www.wdyl.com/#lolcats reveals that there is a patent with the word lolcats in it (http://www.google.com/patents?q=lolcats http://www.google.com/patents?q=lolcats) But besides that and "Scour the earth for lolcats", this isn't really doing much for me. Nice try google interns.
- AJ007 15y agoI think I found an easter egg here -- try searching "my wife"
- ForrestN 15y agoI think most people are projecting a bigger ambition onto this than is accurate. This is not Google's revolutionary attempt at visualized search, it's a cute way to showcase all the diverse products in Google's portfolio. "What do you love? Here's what we can do for you regarding that." It's just a marketing micro-site.
- jgmmo 15y agoI typed in 'my wife' and Google gave me naked lady pictures. I am disappoint.
- zmonkeyz 15y agoThis looks like the future of domain squatter landing pages.
