Good academic article about Google

"The nature of meaning in the age of Google", U. of WA

[MichaelBluejay]

Here's the paper: [informationr.net...]

It's pretty good, touching on all the major points and ramifications, and doesn't miss the problems of SEO spamming and the detente between Google and webmasters. Nice overview.

too difficult to understand.

and the font is not so opical.

I recently discovered a clever way
to de-opticalize papers like this ...

... I call it printing them on the printer.

took me some time to read, but worth it!

Imho this does not fall into the category of a first class academic paper. It does not contain anything new and has too many inaccuracies to have been peer reviewed.

"It does not contain anything new"

The above requires a metaphysical excursion
I will put off for another day. {smile}

"too many inaccuracies to have been peer reviewed."

The editors of Information Research beg to differ.
... Well it is only refereed ... Burn it now! {grin}

I find it a useful BIG PICTURE piece ...
... which has perhaps TWO ideas
worth pondering.

And as God's gift to mankind ... all-seeing ... all-knowing ... SEER ... without a humble bone in his body ... I pause to see if this thread will be erased, too, before posting more ... {serious smile}

That description made me smile!
