After failing to get any of my office colleages even vaguely interested (you’d never guess we do a Search thing) I thought I’d quickly blog about Google Patents. It came up as an option in my perfectly ordinary search for an ipod as a way of narrowing my results down, and it was the first time I’d seen anything in that list that wasn’t Web, Images, News or Video.
Ok, so it’s not that great, but I like their front page. It shows a small number of random patents, which at the moment include a Jumping Snail and a Shark Protector Suit. Cool.
