Searched Google for Olympics, and this is what I got for a result (see screenshot below). And actually I was looking for the exact result — the latest medal count. Isn’t that the most interesting part of Olympics? ;) Google is quite smart…
Here is the Overall Medal Standings: http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml
I see the United Kingdom are doing “Great!” once again. Lol!
Google Engineer are smart….
Yup, sometime google is to smart. :)
Google is really great. Always thinking something different
he…he..he…google is the top number one searchengine…,also top in olympic progress
Lol.. You have to love google.
Nice feature from google. Very clever guys i must admit
I can’t imagine what my online experience will be without Google..
They do things that makes you say “Hey, that actually make sense!”.
I love the fact that the major news stations in the U.S. say that we are in the lead due to overall medal count while the rest of the world says China is due to their higher gold count. Google had a good idea when they made this little widget.
i loved this feature all through the Olympics. and it gave me the idea. what if medal count was biased on number of people in the country or GDP. per metal. that would really shake up the metal count. http://www.tourist-post.com
;) then china would never get no.1 for it’s over 1 billion population
UK 4th!
Amazing!
I saw those on the BBC Michael and they were pretty interesting.
