Interesting Concepts in Search Engines

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-think-about dept.

TheMatt writes "A new type of search algorithm is described at NSU. In a way, it is the next generation over Google. It works off the principle that most web pages link to pages that concern the same topic, forming communities of pages. Thus, for academics, this would be great as the engine could find the community of pages related to a certain subject. The article also points out this would be good as an actually useful content filter, compared to today's text-based ones."

      Don't worry...I posted something like this above, so I don't think you're off topic, but rather redundant. ;)

    Dear Friends,

    Please do not take this for a junk letter. Bill Gates is sharing his fortune. If you ignore this you will repent later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.

    When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period. For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00, for every person that you sent it to that
    forwards it on, Microsoft will pay you $243.00 and for every third person that receives it, you will be paid $241.00.

    Within two weeks, Microsoft will contact you for your address and then send you a cheque

  13. My site is within 6 degrees of Slashdot! by DeadVulcan · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Now that I've wasted WAY too much company time doing this, I must report that I was able to get from Slashdot to one of my personal web sites with only 6 jumps.

    It wasn't six clicks, because I didn't count things like splash screens, click-through ads, and drilling into a site's "Links" page.

    But I'm happy to report that I was able to get to my site with only five intervening web sites. I won't post actual links here, but you're welcome to try and follow along (if you're so inclined)...

    1. Slashdot Article: "Nintendo GameCube Clone Out In Japan" (go to "Related Links")
    2. IGN: GameCube DVD (go to "Affiliates" page)
    3. Drew's Script-O-Rama (go to "Links" page, under "Friends of the Rama")
    4. The Shishi-Odoshi Homepage of Ari-Matti Saren (go to "Some Links")
    5. The International Shinkendo Federation (go to their "Links" page)
    6. Nihonto Page of Alan Quinn (see his recommended links)
    7. Japanese Castles - This is my page!

    Of course, now I've posted, you can just hit the URL beside my name and get there in two clicks...

    I should also say that this is not a silly attempt at advertising. I don't make any money off my web site. It's just a silly attempt at demonstrating the interconnectedness of the web, and the oneness of human knowledge (yeah, that's it).
