Google Australia launched Gday today, a new search engine that allows users to search a day in advance of real time:
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!
To rank these future pages in order of relevance, gDay™ uses a statistical extrapolation of a page’s future PageRank, called SageRank.
The technology behind Gday is called Mate, which stands for Machine Automated Temporal Extrapolation.
How about making one april’s fools post and put all of this stuff in one place?
It was´nt funny i really beleavet it
sure!
Isn’t a great April 1 joke!
you suck
Har har. You can turn the internet off for a day tomorrow.
Gday Mate. I see what they did there.
The next twenty-four hours is going to be w0mg h4x! isn’t it?
Arrington, you blew your April Fools load way too early.
andrew – absolutely not. i love april fools.
People search in the present and the past, we don’t search in the future. What to search for in the future anyway. Maybe Google knows best!
G-April Fool!
It gotta be
Search in the future… hahahahah

I imagine that, if I were Australian, I would laugh a bit more. Anyway
Come on Google, you could do better than that!

This guy misses the point altogether (@9 MadMax3000)
I can do tomorrow’s work today… and Wednesday’s work tomorrow… Thank you Google
Ah here we have explicit mention of Australia, where it is already April 1.
last year it was the free WiFI connection via the toilet – this year GOOG is giving everybody the winning lotto numbers. I love it! Next your going to tell me that President Bush has an approval rating of higher than 25. lol
hey
Sadly that result still isn’t a Freo win
Yawn
Doesn’t really matter where in the world it’s April 1st if you’ve got “March 31 2008″ in large writing at the top of the article, does it?
Fail.
The beauty of this is that if you search for this article with the new “Future” search… it will show up as posted April 1st.
Thus the April Fools joke applies.
Win.
Geek humour sucks.
Darn, thought this was real, i thought i was gonna b rich with online sport gambling.

Good to see Google Australia backs the Eagles.
It’s a corny Aprils Fool’s joke obviously, get real TC.
nice man
We already do this every day at Predictify… maybe for April Fools we should look into the past…
Right now its monday afternoon in LA and tuesday morning in Melbourne… Doesnt that mean I am already searching the internet in the future?
Does this affect my Google Pigeon Rank?
@Mike – I knew you were going to publish this.
i just made gday my start page.
mee too

Welcome to Google Australia’s April Fool’s Day joke
LOL ^^ !!
I think Arrington didn’t recognize this as a April Fool’s Day joke… as simple as that…or why would he post it on his blog on March 31st…. Doesnt show much competence to be honest….
This should be interesting.
West Coast Eagles beating Essendon – well thats a no brainer
@James #32 – One of the great things about a globe is that it’s been 1 April for 12 hours and 44 minutes here. You’re from the midwest, no?
This is one very lame April fool’s joke.
Gday said Google launch Gdrive on 20080401…
I just queried Google Future search for lame april fools jokes, and guess which site came up on top?
i noticed google http://www.goog...m/experimental/ search the other day.
Bah, I hate April Fool’s. Consider all the news you hear to be fake for the next 24 hours.
Here’s a link to the video press release:

Not as good as their previous April fools jokes
Interesting. Maybe it can tell me who will win the footy finals this year or which horses to bet on
Irene Green lasers guide
ha~ it’s really funny >__<
Nice guys……! Google….. never sucks.. always wins !
This is about as unfunny as a Michael Arrington fake lawsuit joke.
I think a backbone engineer somewhere should just unplug a router or two somewhere…now that would be quite an April Fool’s Day joke. Seriously though, the suing Facebook joke would have been awesome if not for the latte comment and such. It had feet…
Harry “not a foot man” Wang
To post 35… nah I am not from the midwest but its one thing admitting that he didnt recognize this as a fools day joke… and now try to pretend it was intended… it just simply shows not much competence.
And regarding the globe thing…. well then his blog shouldnt post it on march 31st…
HE GOT GOTTEN AS SIMPLE AS THAT… and its so obvious its scary that this happened according to his words to the 2nd most important person…
And you dont even realize it…
I lived on 4 continents so trust me I likely know this globe better then you ever will…
…. oh and after having been gotten to create his own (the lawsuit joke) a day earlier is pretty pathetic attempt to cover up his incompetence…
Considering what investors are funding these days in the social networking space, this clever idea might even find venture money. My creative juices are flowing. Thanks for sharing!
