Google Squared Goes Live - A Spreadsheet Like Research Tool

Google Squared, which we announced earlier last month, has been officially released by Google. The new search tool provides research data in a spreadsheet-like format, or squares, that represents categories for your data. So instead of a results page filled with links, the data you are searching for is presented all on one page.For an example, perhaps I was searching for a new Digital SLR camera and I know I wanted a Nikon but didn't know which one I wanted. I could run a search for Nikon DSLR and I would be presented with several different Nikon models with the images and resolutions of each. If I know of a Nikon camera that isn't listed, I can add it to the Squared results at the bottom of the page. Maybe I want to get more specific with my search and know what Optical Sensor Type each of the cameras utilize, I can add a new column for this and the results will be added instantly. I could then remove all of the CCD sensor type cameras since I was really searching for a CMOS-based camera.
