What do you love? - Google's new web service!

Google’s new web service! - WDYL
Google has launched “What Do You Love?” web service recently! Type wdyl onto address bar - you get a 404 error page! The actual address is http://www.wdyl.com. You may use this as a mash up service by Google for all its products such as You Tube, Google News, Google Books, Picasa, Google Image search, Google patent search, Google groups, Google trends and what not?! Type in the search query to get a single page which links to all of the Google’s products at one shot...
Google has silently launched this service in addition to its currently popular “Google Plus”, the social network venture by Google to put a tough competition to Facebook! Does WDYL do anything intelligent?! A gimmick to popularize their own products and existing web services…
A regular syntactic search for the query over all its products by using all Google APIs and providing results on a single search page. It does provide the ease of traversing to all of Google’s web services and products by a click from a single page. Try out for yourself to get funny results as the one below for the search query - “apple my favorite fruit”!

  1. the idea might be great... but didnt quite like it... not the one which i wud want to use... the problem is - currently, everything is accessible categorically at the top end of the page but in this, i will have to crawl all the way down!! not done! :(... bad UI design.. :)
