Typical Price – Google Hotel Finder

Lots of people are talking about Google's new hotel finder. One thing I thought was really clever was this.


Because hotel prices are not the same from one city to the next, it is difficult to know if you are getting a good deal or not. 

Most of us begin the hotel bookings process with a bit of research. We compare a number of hotels to establish the typical price, which we use as a bench mark to compare others to.

This handy little tool does the research for us, it even gives the relative cost in the hotel details (top right) 


Hopefully we will see this used a lot more across the internet, real-estate might be a good place to start.

Google adds politically bias search (maybe)

It is widely excepted that most publications and often news programmes have a political bias. We often choose to read a particular news paper because it reflects our own bias or view of the world, whether left or right wing.

So why not add this feature to search, at least you will know the bias of the results you are looking at


Conventional




Controversial
