Google search update

Google searchGoogle not only seems to have permanently activated their SearchWIKI functionality for me, but also something that could prove to be quite useful.

Each result which points to a forum- or comment-kind of conversation, now states the number of replies and the date of the last post in that thread.

Google surprise

I’m constantly surprised by Google. They keep making their service better and better. Most of it is just stumbled on unintentionally by me.

Today while listening to Diggnation I wondered where the company Dell is located because they where talking about it. So out of pure boredom I typed in “where is dell” into the Google search field in Safari.

To my surprise I received something like an actual answer to my question on top of the usual search results.
Where is Dell

I tried a couple more companies and sites, with different success (Google doesn’t know where Disneyland is ;) ). So now I wonder what else can I “ask” Google? Any suggestions?
