Could you provide a link to the "first" answer? The first answer right now does not seem to be the same answer that you are talking about.
The answers are sorted by score, so the order changes when people cast votes. Thanks.
My best guess is that it identifies you for purposes of the +1 button, which is similar to Facebook's Like button. If you press it, that web page shows up on your G+ profile on the +1 tab. But even if you never press it, it still tells Google that you visited that web page.
Web pages like it because they get to be recommended on social networks. And the social networks like it because they can track your browsing habits. It's win/win!
The bots are programmed to not spell correctly, and to make "typos." Also they need to wait for a reasonable delay before answering. A machine could answer in 150ms but a human needs a few seconds to type a response. They are not supposed to be "too perfect."
I am willing to bet that a Googlemobile would be truly innovative. Probably it would come with builtin navigation tools such as Google Maps but beyond that it would be self-parking, highly secure from theft (because it runs Linux), and get terrific gas mileage--or else use some other less carbon-generating source such as alcohol or direct solar power.
Yeah, but it would also monitor every place that you drive. Not to be evil, mind you, but to make suggestions about what stores you might like to drive to.
It would always be in "beta," but that's okay, since Googlemobile Beta is still safer than a Chevy Corvair 1.0!
And it would be totally free, as long as you don't mind looking at a few ads. But since it's invite-only, it would have an eBay value of $84,208. (Buy it now for $62,199!)
A while back, I was reading a site called "The Programmer's Stone." It is a site to recapture, explore and celebrate the Art of Computer Programming.
It turned out that The Programmer's Stone is only chapter 0 in a larger site, Reciprocality.org. Chapter 1 is about a human parasite they call M0.
"M0 is a previously unsuspected public health problem. It is ancient and vast, and only fragments of information regarding its origins and the psychological state of humans prior to its instantiation have passed down to us. It consists of a neurochemical effect induced by boring social conditions that people get addicted to like some athletes get addicted to their own adrenaline and end up B. A. S. E. jumping."
The other chapters, well, see for yourselves . . .

Dropping the term "blogosphere" for a moment, we can see that the inventor of the World Wide Web has a blog, a "web log" if you will.
So the headline should be:
Inventor of WWW Uses His Own Invention
