New Features on Google

From the E-LawLibrary Weblog, 4/13/2005:

"Google has been providing definitions of words for
some time (just type in define:[word]) to get definitions
of the word from other web sites). Now you can also
get words in other languages, because Google Definitions
has gone multilingual.

Google is also catching up to some of the other search
engines that will answer your questions. With
Google Q&A, you can ask most any question of Google
(try where is Addis Ababa?), and the answer(s) will
appear at the top of the results page."
