Google Sets Tagging Tool

Google Sets for those of you who are unaware is a Google labs utility that takes a word or set of words and will logically generate a complete list of words related to those words.

In the example image we’ve embedded you can see we type in “jan” in one box, and then “feb” in the next box. We then asked Google Sets to generate a set based on those 2 terms. It figured out that they are months, and so generated a set containing 12 words. (jan, feb, mar, apr, may, jun, jul, aug, sep, oct, nov, and dec.

We have found this to be a nice little utility. The only problem we’ve seen is that the sets are not sorted. In the example we gave above where we typed in jan, and then feb you will notice it gave us the other months, but not in the correct order. Just a minor setback, and after all the tool is free.

Hope you can find some use for this app in the future. If you can think of any other uses please post a comment, we would like your opinion.
