Google Squared

I'm still alive!! I AM IN HERE.

Anyway, I was just checking out Google Squared on Tomer's recommendation (from his Blog's RSS feed) and, although it seems exciting, there's much that needs to be toned up before it is effective. My Squared search was for "dead presidents" (I thought this would be a shoe-in for a comprehensive set of results, but in my Americo-centric brain I also didn't stop to think that it could give me a list of dead presidents from around the world). Anyway, it turns out that Google shares my same centrisms, but only gave me a list of 7 or 8 dead U.S. presidents. I helped a bit by adding ones I could think of, but was boggled. Statistically, most of the men that have served as President have since passed on. Very few are still alive, of the 44 that we've had. I was surprised it didn't give me the full list.

Despite this shortfall, I think that the idea is cool, and will help Google in rivalling Wikipedia for results involving groups.
