“Web 3.0” is supposed to be all about using these data sets, and making them available in easy to use formats. Google has always been behind this (for the most part).
Whoa! That logo is brutal!
1s and 0s for knuckles! Breaking the chain of users and their products!
If bad logo design is any indication of good engineering, we’ll see some great stuff from these folks.
Better than Bing tho.
Next logical step for Google: Don’t let the data just sit there, put it to work! For example, let the user opt-in to “share my data with selected Google partners”, and offer something in return. I bet a lot of companies would love to get their fingers on that data.
woah yeh that logo is umm….. well i think it’s on a par with Bing, maybe it’s actually worse (putting the Google logo within that logo just brings the Google brand down). i like google concepts tho
Apropos “putting the data to work”: Google plans to index all published documents from Google Docs users if the documents are linked from a public (that means crawled by Google Bot) website..
All your data are belong to Google 🙂
