- jlees 18y agoWhat about the sort of search like 'recommend a good restaurant in SF'? That's the sort of search you'd do on Twitter, where you know you get human replies not machine ones, or possibly a custom site like Yelp (still not Google). It's also the sort of thing you can sell ads against.
- wumi 18y agobetter yet, ask that on aardvark (vark.com)
- pclark 18y agogot any invites for vark?
- berntb 18y agoHuh, there hasn't been robots written to do that yet for Twitter? You'd think Twitter would have spam trouble like that, by now. (I guess that is an open niche for people doing natural language interaction... 1/2 :-)
- jlees 18y ago<cough> Well, depends quite what you mean, but part of what I'm working on is understanding answers to questions like that. Without actively polling twitter (ie spamming 'Hey guys, what's...').
- lacker 18y agoSearch for [good restaurant in SF] on Google and you get a restaurant guide from the San Francisco Chronicle as the top web result. That's a lot faster than asking your twitter followers for it.
