Use Google Squared To Get Organized Results

Google has launched "Google Squared" by which you can collect the facts about your query from the web in a structured tabular form for easy analysis.

Suppose you are looking to buy a dog and not sure what type of dog to buy, a search for "dogs" in Google Squared provides information about a number of dog varieties.

Google Squared provides the following:

• 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.

After you see the results, if you are not satisfied with the attributes (columns) shown, then you can add your own attributes. In the dog example, I didn't see the lifespan of dogs to see how long each dog will live approximately. Many owners would like to know about it, so I added that attribute. After I added it, Google searches for "lifespan" in web and gets the results and puts that in the table.

Once you get the results, you can click the "Squares" as Google calls it for later use. You can share it with others as Google provides a unique link for it.

Google Squared is very flexible. You can start off with an empty square and expand the search results. I searched for "Current Hollywood Actress" then I added their "Place of Birth", "Husband" etc.

However, Google Squared is not perfect, some of the results are wrong, so you have to do more research to find the actual answers. In the above example the results showed the husband for Nicole Kidman was her ex-husband Tom Cruise not her current husband Keith Urban.

But for comparison purposes, Google Squared is an excellent starting point.
