I just updated, but I feel the need to draw your attention to the amazing Google Labs, where they post links to unfinished projects for you to try out.

One of the ones I found the most fascinating is a word association program called Google Sets. My test was to enter in five Ontario towns and bam! it generated a great big list of them. But even with only five as a reference point, it was able to figure out that I only meant Ontario… and that the ‘London’ was not the one in England. When I went ahead and changed the last two items to Edmonton and Victoria, it instantly adapted and gave me major cities across Canada. Unbelievable. Say what you like, but that is very cool.

Perhaps they got the idea from the much more basic, but frequently hilarious Googlism.com. And the obligatory funny link: I’m Feeling Lucky Boxer Shorts.
