Google's Answer to Wolfram Alpha

Google Squared takes a category and creates a starter 'square' of information, automatically fetching and organizing facts from across the web. They couldn't take it; Wolfam Alpha came out, so Google created Squared. Overall, this could bring the art of searching to a new horizon.

However, Squared sounds like a short-term answer to Wolfam.

Google Squared is an experimental tool that takes a category (like US presidents, roller coasters, or digital cameras) and attempts to create a starter "square" of information, automatically fetching and organizing facts from across the web. You can modify your square by removing rows and columns you don't like--or by adding new rows and columns and having Google Squared attempt to fetch the relevant facts. Verify and correct the facts in your square by exploring the original sources and investigating other possible values. If you're happy with your square you can save it and come back to it later. Google Squared does the grunt work for you, making research fast and easy.
