    Shows use of 2 google tools - looks intriguing. Wonder Wheel gives you a visual picture of relationships or subsets of the term you searched; you can then search on the subsets of interest. Timeline arranges links in order, from oldest to newest, and shows a frequency distribution of the links, over time. This includes ancient (pre-internet) information, if it's coded with a publication date.

    Scary how much information can be gleaned about you by mining the data in your profiles and what your "friends" and "networks" say about you. This is a real consideration for using social networking tools in education.
