This is amazing. Scanned a PBR can sitting on my table and it searched the web for it, came back with a picture of the logo, and did a web search for “Pabst Blue Ribbon.” So cool.
GMail - All Mail
Although I keep my inbox tidy, I intentionally delete almost nothing so I have a record of everything. In the 3.5 years that I’ve had my GMail account, I’ve had 21834 conversations. Not individual messages, whole threads. (That translates to 16.56 a day.)
On the border of believability, as usual. Love the comic-style illustrations, ala-the Chrome introduction.
Some great tips here, including many that have made my GMailing a LOT more efficient.
Wolfram Alpha: Very, Very First Take
This is a good example of the comparison between something like Wolfram Alpha and Google. A search in both for the word “blog” brings up:
Wolfram is amazing for a variety of things it seems, and will be touted in the next couple weeks as a “Google Killer,” but it’s missing the point. They’re just made for different things, and I plan on using both from here on out.
Another day, another “Google slayer” search engine popping up. Sounds kind of familiar… oh yeah. That worked out well.
It’s sad that the only way some companies see to create hype for a new product is to call it a [INSERT INDUSTRY LEADER HERE]-killer. See examples here, here, here, and most comically here.

“Get directions?” Seriously? To a lethal flu outbreak? I’ll pass.
I cannot wait for this to be publicly available. Like I seriously can’t stop thinking about how sweet this is going to be.
