Google Book Search, the search engine's find-a-book-and-read-an-excerpt app, launched in Japan today. Very exciting. It's really useful when you need to find some obscure fact that you don't quite know how to find otherwise because it doesn't fit neatly under one category, or something. I once got offered a job at Google to help launch Book Search Japan. If I had taken it, I probably would be able to tell you a lot more about the program—but I didn't. Then again, if I had taken the job, I probably wouldn't have this blog and I wouldn't be able to tell you about it anyway. So yeah. That's all I have to say about that.
