“How Google Instant Could Reinvent Channel Flipping “by Tim Carmody ,published on September 9,2010 on www.wired.com
This article discusses the new feature Google has come up with called instant search. Basically this feature begins searching the web as you type in the search bar. The author at first thinks that this idea is just silly because of the sear size of the web and the fact that Google cannot determine whether you are looking for a movie, book, quote, or anything else. When he rethinks the use of this feature by lowing the data set and which Google device he is using then he finds it to be very useful. The author believes that this feature would be very help with the TV. So if you are searching Google TV then you will be able to begin typing in a movie or TV show title or description and Google will begin searching their database for anything related to that title with movies or television. He uses the example that he has forgotten everything about a movie he saw years ago except that it may have had China in the title and was an action movie. So in a future Google product he will be able to type in c-h-I then bypass anything with Chicago, narrow it to action then pow, there it is with a picture, cast list and brief synopsis of the movie. It would be just that simple. He states that Gmail already has a similar feature that they use to organize their contacts so now all that need to be done is applying this to other local searches. As of right now Google instant search in cool but just wait to see what it means for the future.
I think that is article is very interesting. At first the author seems to think this is a dumb feature but when he puts it in a new context it becomes this amazing revolution. I love the vivid examples he uses to help readers understand what this feature could do in the future and how it may affect them. All in all I found this to be a very well written article.
I respect your side on the anaylsis of the article. I believe though that it is an awesome feature to google because when you start typing it will give you search results based on the entry. I think this would make it easier to search certain items in the bar and allow you to easily find search results you were looking for. If you have to type more into the box to get the results you wanted; then this wouldnt be such a big deal because in the past you had to type the whole sentence or phrase in regardless.
ReplyDeleteI found this article to be pretty interesting, the Google instant search seems to be a quicker and more efficient way to find things on the web. Especially the things that you may not be able to remember entirely. I know I always have trouble with finiding things that I can't remember every detail about. I think that this tool will have great potential for the future making searches a whole lot easier for everyone around the world.
