All I can say is, that google engineers must be really jealous for not coming up with the same idea of ranking sites based on what people enter into search boxes and what links they click on. Sounds like Pagerank 2.0 to me.
- blauwbilgorgel 16y agoThere were AI algorithms in 1999 that described doing exactly this. Pagerank is perfect for the web. Agreed, tracking people like ants, the links they click on as pheromone trails, makes for a great program: 90% of users visiting website A about pancakes, went to site B about pancake recipes. The problem lies in tracking your users to this extend. On the web this isn't possible, unless you control vast web estate and are unscrupulous about using this data. I bet most Google engineers know about swarm intelligence computing, and aren't jealous at engineers like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GM4Lt5k24s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GM4Lt5k24s who don't Bing! loud enough.
