Have you ever experienced a sharp pain in your side or numbness in a leg and used Google to find out whether you should call the doctor? You’re not alone; in fact, so many searchers do this that the search engine giant modified its algorithm to help.
Google Acquires Apture, Katango

At the very least, they could put a serious crimp in the plans of the search engine’s competitors. One assists the search engine with its powerful yet still new social network, while the other could take its ability to monetize search to a whole new level.
