“Google Needs People”
has a central thesis that sounds mighty familiar:
“Like the fabled creatures of mud and sticks, Google is
a golem, an inanimate jumble of algorithms and interfaces, held
together by the connective tissue of links.No people. No links. No Google. “
maybe it’s because i wrote about a similar idea
over a year ago
in response to cory doctorow’s evangelism of “implicit metadata” in
:
“in fact, the author seems to be arguing that automated
“implicit metadata” is the way to go. but who decided that there
was a complicated and reliable relationship between linking and
relevancy?a warm body. “
