Google Launches Predictive Search
Mar 31st
Google has been monitoring the web and what you do for the last 12 years. Recently Google announced they will be integrating Predictive Search. Google believes they know what you are going to search before you even search for the keyword.
Later today when you visit Google, you will just be presented with a simple “Go” button. No search box. No Google Search button. No I’m Feeling Lucky button. Just GO.
Take a look below at what Google has said about this project.

TweetOur system has a 98.4% accuracy rate. We know who you are, where you are, what you’re doing, what you want, and when you want it.
