“What Do You Love” was quietly released from Google over these last few days along with a nice and subtle refresh of their search engine design, the Google+ network and Google Takeout.

The concept is simple: the site presents a text input box and asks the user: “What do you love?” Type in a subject, hit the button, and you’re away: boxes appear containing results from almost every Google service open to the public.

From a single interface, users are able to see pictures via Image Search, track popularity via Trends, view videos via YouTube, view 3D models created in SketchUp, and even make phone calls via Google Voice. In total, there are twenty different products showcased on the site — including the inevitable advert for Google Chrome, the company’s web browser — with more promised soon.

So far, Google hasn’t explained what the site is or why it exists. While an impressive way of showing the breadth of the company’s product offering, many of the boxes — such as the e-mail box — are little more than static adverts. Whether it will evolve into something more useful in the future remains to be seen. Read more here on thinq​.co​.uk
