What the hell is that suppose to mean?
“Ultimately no human brain, no planet full of human brains, can possibly catalog the dark, expanding ocean of data we spew. In a future of information auto-organized by folksonomy, we may not even have words for the kinds of sorting that will be going on; like mathematical proofs with 30,000 steps, they may be beyond comprehension. But they’ll enable searches that are vast and eerily powerful. We won’t be surfing with search engines any more. We’ll be trawling with engines of meaning.”
— Bruce Sterling
blah, blah, blah do you get the feeling you have heard this buzzing before! “We’ll be trawling with engines of meaning.” through piles of shit put on the internet by who knows who, with whatever agenda, owned by whatever top bidding corporation. What you thought everyone was on the same playing field surely not?
Good Luck with that Mr. Sterling! I raise my glass to you!
Now I challenge you to take your email filter off and sign up for some free stuff and get a good feel for what it is exactly you think you will be giving meaning to! Or perhaps enter the lottery for the top spot on Google for a couple days, better make it second the real players don’t really want the top spot.
