Google is set to launch its newest tool, Google Squared, they announced at their Searchology Summit on Wednesday.

Google Squared is designed to offer instant information in a ’square’ spreadsheet form. Google has provided screen shots to show what the application will look like but have said that there may be changes implemented before its publication.

 Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Webspam team, explained in his blog:

‘[I]f you typed in ’small dogs’ then Google would try to return types of small dogs, along with facts like how much they weigh. It’s easy to add a row to the Square, so you could add a row for Lhasa Apso and Google will try to infer the relevant facts from the web. You can also add new columns, e.g. if you type ’energy level’ then Google will look for corroborating facts across the web and try to guess the energy level of each type of dog.’

Google Squared is due to be launched later this month via Google Labs which is a platform designed to showcase Google’s experimental projects.
