Two new experimental tools are launched to help users more efficiently browse through data

Similar Images is an application that allows users to sort through the results of an image search by clicking on links to other similar images.  The searches populated will also try to match the angle of the image, a person’s position or expression, or depth of the picture. 

Another new system, Timeline, categorizes information chronologically by day, week, month or year in a zoomable format.  Users will be able to sort through the same type of results that would be shown in a typical Google News search.  According to Google, the results are pulled from various sources including recent and historial news, scanned articles, blogs, Twitter status messages and other media. 

Check out these new features through Google’s latest version of Google Labs.
