The future is now

Posted by Alan Noble, Head of Engineering, Google Australia & New Zealand

The secret is out. Today, in an exclusive launch only for Australians, we're happy to announce gDay search technology, Google's newest innovation, developed right here in our Sydney R&D centre. Using a system called MATE (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation), gDay combines Google's index of historic, cached web content, and a mashup of numerous factors, including recurrence plots and fuzzy measure analysis, to create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now.

By clicking "one day in advance" on our homepage, you can search the internet exactly 24 hours in advance.

You heard that right. That's tomorrow's footy scores, tomorrow's celebrity goss, tomorrow's weather, even tomorrow's Google announcements - all right at your fingertips. Not to toot our own horn, but this is going to be a very, *very* big feature for Google Australia going forward.

Believe me, I checked.
