RIP Bing: Google search overhauled with Knowledge Graph - Polidicks

[url]http://googleblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/introducing-knowledge-graph-things-not.html[/url] It's basically like Wolfram Alpha but better. WA is pretty cool but people have to manually contribute to its knowledge database by typing in facts Knowledge Graph automatically collects data from all over the web by parsing and understanding English. It'll get better over time as they improve the algorithms and stuff but here's what it looks like right now: [img]http://i.imgur.com/5py56.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/jz5vt.png[/img] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/R68dR.png[/IMG] It's gradually rolling out atm, to US English users only at first :(

Oh cool. Love new Google stuff.

Pretty cool.

I search google on bing.

Oh man this will be damn useful for school. Good to see google improving on their search engine.

Who even uses Bing besides computer illiterate people who were forcefed it because it's the default search engine in IE? [editline]16th May 2012[/editline] And Facebook

Bing will never die

[QUOTE=PowerBall v1;35981243]Bing will never die[/QUOTE] Bing will be like the Call of Duty series, on Life support screaming kill me while the company tries to milk it for money.

[B]Knowledge Graph automatically collects data from all over the web [/B] They better have a damn strong filtering algorithm

[QUOTE=THATCAKEISASPY;35981268]Bing will be like the Call of Duty series, on Life support screaming kill me while the company tries to milk it for money.[/QUOTE] CoD, like it or not, is still an insanely popular product however. Opposite to Bing. But Microsoft keeps trying to push outside their OS and Office space with stuff like Bing, IE etc., so I doubt they'll give up on Bing just because Google released this feature.

Algorithm: Go to wiki article for topic searched, copy information from right side.

From what I can see, it only tears shit out of Wikipedia and other trusted pages.

You know I am only 17 but I feel old already. Parents and teachers say to us how easy it is to Google things these days and find the information that you want without having to read books to find what you want to know. Well I have finished school now and I will feel old because when I say to people my age or younger in the future "in my day I had to search something and then look at all the results to find what I wanted to know." They will laugh and say the same of how boring and long it would of taken to find something when all they have to do is ask Google the question and they get the answer instantly on the side bar. like I said in the future when this thing has grown to the point all those questions you have to google in school have been googled a thousand times already. And maybe not with this thing Google is doing but in general that will probably happen somewhere down the line.

I can imagine putting shit like "what was that thing that british dude said after he met hitler and he had some paper or something" and getting the exact answer

Ha, I can finally cite "google" as my source in schoolwork. Fuck, no, I just finished High school. God damnit google, why so late?

[QUOTE=alexojm;35981512]See what I mean frustrated isn't it. Plus school time is the time you spend most of your time googling really.[/QUOTE]Googling or looking for info in books, imo there's no difference.

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35981556]Googling or looking for info in books, imo there's no difference.[/QUOTE] There is kind of a difference. With books you need to have the correct books around and then hope what you are after is in the context so you can find it quickly. With google you can be anywhere and find what you need to know.

[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35981556]Googling or looking for info in books, imo there's no difference.[/QUOTE] Wait until you get to university...then you'll cringe at the idea of citing Wikipedia

[QUOTE=smurfy;35981132] It's basically like Wolfram Alpha but better. WA is pretty cool but people have to manually contribute to its knowledge database by typing in facts [/QUOTE] I never actually used Wolfram Alpha for fact searching, only to solve and graph difficult equations. And I don't think Google does that yet.

[QUOTE=Clavus;35981662]I never actually used Wolfram Alpha for fact searching, only to solve and graph difficult equations. And I don't think Google does that yet.[/QUOTE] Actually it does graphing already. Even in 3D using WebGL.

[QUOTE=Robber;35981720]Actually it does graphing already. Even in 3D using WebGL.[/QUOTE] How? 3D WebGL graphs are something I can briefly jerk off to

Now I can list Google as my source instead of Wikipedia

[QUOTE=smurfy;35981824]How? 3D WebGL graphs are something I can briefly jerk off to[/QUOTE] What's your favorite site for smut? I really like [url]http://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl[/url]

I don't really get the comparison to WA. Until this can solve math problems and stuff I don't think it should be compared. Although WA is still more useful for location based stuff too.

Haha, it only works on Chrome as far as I can see. Interesting choice.

Wolfram Alpha integrated on Google was kind of a natural next step. I dig the way they implemented it, but it seems like, as other people said, it pulls most info from wikipedia articles and youtube which are already on the first page of the search results
