Google Labs - Search by Location
22Oct03
Google Labs now allows you to search by location. What exactly is this good for? I can imagine it being really sweet for events, eventually. Search by Location
Also new and cool is the “define” function on Google. Just use “define sedulous” as your search keyword to get a definition of sedulous. In true Google form, not all the definitions come from the same source–how does it know which one is best? That’s where the magic is.
The guy who built this functionality (Search by Location) is a Stanford guy named Sep. He’s a nice guy; it’s cool that his doctoral work got bought up by Google.
I didn’t really understand this until today; but entering “bicycle” and “94309″ gives some interesting and unexpected results for bicycle locations in Palo Alto.
How about an RSS feed that autodiscovers my location and searches by location and my defined keywords to deliver a customized events schedule? Yum.
