A few weeks ago I discovered a cool new search feature on Google called the Wonder Wheel. If you have come across and tried Tony Buzan's Mind Mapping techniques you can see the similarities.
In case you have never heard of Mind Mapping, what the wheel does is to associate a host of different items to your search term and by clicking on different parts of the wheel you can keep drilling into more items.
I have to say - words can;t quite match the experience so go try it out.
Put in a search word into the google search tool bar and once you get the results, expand on the little + which says Web options and towards the bottom under Standard View, you will see Wonder Wheel. Click on it and voila - some cool stuff.
The instructions are listed on google.s website. Check out using the link below

I love the Wonder Wheel!. It's not only a great
ReplyDeletefeature, it's got a great story behind it.
The idea comes from Jon Klienberg of Cornell who had
the concept of "Hubs" and "Authorities" back in 1999
when Brin and Page where developing PageRank (they
were aware of each other at the time and cited each
others papers).
Interestingly, both concepts were developed concurrently with Network Theory ( Kleinberg and
Network Theorist Duncan Watts were at Cornell and
collaborated).
