Google invents the time machine

April 1st, 2008 | by Jose Miguel Cansado |

Google Australia announced today a search service able to search pages in the future. The service is called Gday.

Gday relies on a technology named MATE™ (Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation). Excerpt from Google:

“Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now.

We can use this technique to predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow’s share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they’re written!”

This guys at Google are really amazing.
