Google launches Its Knowledge Graph

[americandesi333]

Finally Google is moving in the right direction. There is still a lot more they can do with semantic search. For example, wouldn't it be great to see the related topics in a concept map, have meanings and history right there, but also let people curate this knowledge graph.

Check out InstaGrok. It does something like that- http://www.instagrok.com/

Ok, this is much cooler than spew (I mean spyw).

Thanks Google - I'm looking forward to having relevance in my search again!

Looks like Wolfram alpha inside Google, no ?

I think Wolfram Alpha is more about stats and raw numbers and such. This is more about semantic search and identifying what a word means and what attributes people are assigning to it.

More like DuckDuckGo if you ask me.

To me it looks like Facebook's Open Graph
