In Quotes: Compare Politicians’ Quotes By Keywords

]]> In Quotes is a new app by Google Labs which is innovative and well…could be addictive too if you’re really into politics. It searches Google News and gathers various quotes by the politicians and lets you compare their quotes by hot keywords. Hence you could check what Obama and McCain have to say about oil, Iraq, Iran and a variety of other keywords to choose from. There is a ‘ Spin ‘ button which when clicked pulls up more quotes.

You could either directly select politicians from US, Canada, India and UK or select the custom option from the drop down menu and type in the name of your favorite politicians whose quotes you’d like to compare. Considering the current US election season, this tool has the potential to become a blockbuster tool at least in the US.

When selecting a topic to get quotes on you can either type something out your head or just choose a couple from hot topics list.
