Good rant, though. You should be a journalist!
Is there a way to visualize link circles and spun article chains on the web? I've wanted something similar to track astroturfing.
- alexkavon 9y agoI'm not aware of any tools but that would be a fun project. A lot of the problem stems around Google search result ranking. If you research this issue, you will recognize the name Pat Flynn [0] as a knowledgeable source (proliferator?) of spinning and "backlinking" (the term for link circles/chains). I think a tool could be a cool way to identify bias or weakness of an actual article or source. Kind of a reverse Google search/page rank explainer, which may be needed this day-in-age to help improve the quality of information on the net.
