[Freebase-discuss] Taking the wraps off of Google's Knowledge Graph

[Jason Douglas]

That's essentially the same thing as asking whether anyone (Google or
otherwise) will ever use them from the Freebase APIs... it's up to
individual apps and their use cases.  As Shawn said, they're not used
directly in Search because the core product is already "related weblinks,"
but with much better coverage than Freebase.  ;-)

Why do you ask -- what are you trying to figure out?
