Google + Metaweb

A few days ago, I saw this video on one of the blogs I read often but I forgot which one, sorry.

Google just bought the company, and they are off for more big searching improvements. Amazing, we will see good things soon coming up.

The whole idea of entities on the web, makes me think on how this FreeBase thing works out? From a fast check on freebase.com, I coudn’t find out much, mas from what I saw, it looks like a more complex (codewise) wikipedia.

Read the Post from Jack Menzel, a Google director of product management on his blog.

This thing will have profound implications on webdevelopment. Gotta wait and see what the community will create around this new idea.

Checkout the video that explains how metaweb’s idea works. It’s great stuff.
