Google Movies
Posted February 23, 2005 – 4:44 pm by Yakov Shafranovich in TechnologyOver at the official Google Blog, a new Google feature was announced – Google Movies. When using the “movie:” operator in Google, it brings up results for movies only.
At the first glance it looks like a custom search across movie review sites There are also movie “home pages” like this one which aggregate all reviews AND calculate the total score based on the number of stars. It looks like something similar to Google News – parsing all the reviews and it remains to be seen whether it will be expanded to something like IMDB. There is also noticeable no ads, probably for the same reason as Google News.
P.S. The bottom of the page states “The selection and placement of reviews on this page were determined automatically by a computer program. No movie critics were harmed or even used in the making of this page.”.
