Google Asks What Do You Love?

Google unveiled its WDYL.com web site, which displays results of your search via 20 different Google products on a single page. When you go to WDYL.com, you'll be greeted by a simple page that asks the user "what do you love?" and a search bar below.

Once the user input a search request, the site will display results through 20 widgets that feature Google's various searches, which include blogs, news, YouTube, and Picasa photos. You could scroll through all the widgets in the page.

Google silently rolled out this new web site without any fanfare, intro or marketing strategies. Apparently it was supposed to be launch a few days ago but Google had to fix some engineering problems before it was ready for the big unveiling.

It is interesting to see the results but it looks like WDYL.com is more of a promotional tool for Google's products such as Chrome, Gmail, Calendar, and others that don't show any results regarding the search query. There's a button at the bottom of each widget that would take the user to the Google product's web site.

WDYL.com is overshadowed by the launch of Google+, which is Google's latest attempt at creating its own social network.
