Google introduced gDayâ„¢ with MATEâ„¢ in Australia, but the technology isn’t available in the US. Darn. Because this would be handy.
Search tomorrow’s web, today!
Google Australia has introduced a new feature, enabling you to search content on the internet before it is created.
Steps1. Enter your search term
[e.g. footy scores]
2. Select “one day in advance†and click “Google Searchâ€.
3. Google searches the web as it will look tomorrowAbout gDayâ„¢ technology
The core technology that powers gDayâ„¢ is MATEâ„¢ (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation).
Using MATE’s™ machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques developed in Google’s Sydney offices, we can construct elements of the future.
Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now.
We can use this technique to predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow’s share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they’re written!
Does it work with Raw PRAWN (Perfect Retroactive Activity Within Networks) files?
I’m not sure, but it really ought to be compatible.
Will this go over as well as the fiberoptics through the sewer system joke Google did a few years ago, I wonder…
Given a choice between the two technologies, I’d take this one.
I stumbled onto your site a few weeks ago through Scalzi’s site. Anyway, if you have Gmail they advertise a new ‘feature’ called custom time. You can pre-date any e-mail so it is never late. That would be a great feature!
Sweet! Again, I would totally use tha– I mean, I never send email late. Ahem.
Me neither! Now if it worked for sending out bills late it would be perfect! By the way, congrats on the Campbell nod. I’ve only seen a little of you work so far, but I plan to read more. It’s really good reading.
Thanks! I’m still all giddy about the Campbell nod.
