Google Squared

Google Squared, a new product from Google labs, demonstrated three weeks ago, a search engine that creates structured data from warehouse of information and lets users compare various things by their various/custom attributes. It's really a great idea, in reality.
Cons are very hard to imagine using Squared regularly, but a great idea we'll see where it goes.

Very impressive that when you request a square for a concept Google is unfamiliar with, you're prompted to offer upto five examples and builds the data set for you.
