Google has added a new data source to their Public Data onebox: World Bank data. One data point you can query now is the relative number of internet users for a given country. Try searches like the following to see it in action:
- internet users in china
- internet users in germany
- internet users in usa
Other types of searches, like co2 emissions of ..., are listed at Google’s blog.
As opposed to organic search result answers, which are sort of publicly web-voted on to decide on authority, oneboxes are sometimes more hand-picked, with Google’s employees more directly being the judge on what’s deemed right.
