Hi all,

Recently Google announced a new 'Experimental Search' resource:

 <http://www.google.com/experimental/>

See results on a timeline or map.  

With the timeline and map views, Google’s technology extracts key dates 
and locations from select search results so you can view the information 
in a different dimension.

Timeline and map views work best for searches related to people, 
companies, events and places."

For example: 

Timeline View of Nanotechnology:
<http://www.google.com/views?q=nanotechnology%20view%3Atimeline>

Map view of Olympics: 
<http://www.google.com/views?q=olympics+view%3Amap>

Cheers all ..
