Scrolling Results & Site Commentary at Google Labs

Google Labs has added two new initiatives. The Google Viewer provides a fancy way to have search results scroll by with views of the pages as well. I find WiseNut's Sneak-a-Peek and the MSN Search Preview easier to view but prefer basic text results to all three.

The second initiative, Google Webquotes, seems to have more information value. Enter a search, and for each of the top ten sites, several quotes from other pages that point to the top ten sites are listed. So a search on 'google' finds "Google sells paid listings. . . " and "If Google were to charge a fee. . . ." Perhaps interesting to play with, but not the most definitive quotations.
