Google Ad-words Poetry Project

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-unique dept.

hecticjames writes "Cute idea - buying google adwords to place poetry. The site also includes google's response." The page is a really interesting look into Google's text ad service, and has a lot of interesting statistics about the relative value of art and porn. It's really worth a read.

    I like how God is worth $10.46 a day but
    gay + sex ($2,239.56 + $3,836.79) is worth $6076.35 a day.

    Hello. I am the automated performance monitor for Slashdot. My job is to keep average moderation rates at a high level, so that users can consistently count on Slashdot to help them stay informed on "Stuff that matters."
    The last 20 posts you made received a score of zero or lower, and by the way I noticed most of those said something to the effect of "FP" or "Furst PoZt".

    One thing I'll never understand about Google, as my signature notes, is why the spellcheck keeps on trying to replace "the men who killed kennedy" with "the man who killed kennedy". Am I missing something grammatically here? Do only singular nouns kill?

    Oddly, this occurs only for the full prase "the men who." "The men" or "men who" will not cause google to suggest "man"

    Equally intriquing, the phrase "The WHO killed kennedy" causes Google to point to Elvis as the assasin!

    Maybe it's a conspiracy... :-D
