Mobile search dude: "Hey Google, is there any - like - pizza joints - like - around here?"
Google: <spits out a list of pizza joints near the mobile search dude>
Yeah, sounds revolutionary. LOL
Google (or any software) understanding human speech remains a dream.
You wildly miss the point here and what you said there has absolutely nothing with what Google is doing. You do know that you can perform voice searches on a mobile phone, don't you?
I just don't get how people can't understand what Google are doing. I've seen a lot of "SEO Gurus" on here think that this update is like penguin and worried about rankings blah blah blah.
It's not. It's to do with how Google is trying to understand what the user wants and how to present that to them. There are a million ways to ask a question that might have just one answer, that is what Google is trying to do here.
It's more about Answer engine than a Search engine
