- JoeAltmaier 8y agoInteresting point. Can somebody make a map of how a given search engine hides/shadows topics? What would that look like? What blind spots are we creating for ourselves by this social dependency on search?
- lettergram 8y agoDepends on how much you discuss it. HN is just an example, places it works best are organizations with emails and slack. Basically tens or hundreds of emails a week. The top results for Brooklyn still contains people living or have lived there. Mostly it’s an expectation thing... you expect yourself to be there, that doesn’t mean the system hasn’t identified better people to contact about Brooklyn. perhaps the system identified that other people had greater “expertise” simply because there was a larger data set (or someone displayed more knowledge)
