Google to choose your news
 
A very short article about how google wants to direct your attention through data mining and 'challange' you to read opposing views.

Regardless of conspiracy theories I think that the data minning thingy is starting to get out of hand, don't you think so?

Don't panic...The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy...Man proves god exist because the babel fish could not have come in to being on its own, resulting in catching god out who then disappears in a puff of logic. Man feeling pleased in what he did goes on to prove black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing. :hmmm:


BTW: NO ONE TELLS ME WHAT TO READ!

What is insanely ironic about this - is that Goggle (yes I spelled it that way on purpose) wants to do this - in the best interest of its users of course. Making sure certain things are out there (or not!) as they "deem" appropriate. Yet they are the same ones screaming about how Australia should not be "filtering" the internet. Seems that if you do a search and get "opposing views" - your request for what you wanted was filtered - to give you something else. Same principle they are complaining about.

Someone needs to clean their Goggle... (s)

PS. I have my towel.....
