  • Apparently, a chat-bot named 'Nanniebot' has been designed to entice and reveal stalking pedophiles.  But the most amazing thing is that this bot is completely indistinguishable from a chatting human being.  The significance is: soon you'll never again know if the 'stranger' you're chatting with for the first time is a real person or a bot-agent.  Don't believe me?  Go here and look at the transcript of a typical 'Nanniebot' chat (bottom of the page) and see if you can tell the difference!


    And in another breakthrough...  'Bloggiebot', anyone?!  Well, there is a fully-automated blogging service...here ! Just sign-up, it will update itself up to several times daily, and even link to other blogging bots.  Here's mine - my automated blogging clone ! ha Now I'll personally never need to blog again (and won't, if  its posts turn out to be better than mine).


    Killing me with Science.  Now here's a search engine for the serious-minded: Scirus


    Their blurb: 


    Scirus is the most comprehensive science-specific search engine on the Internet. Driven by the latest search engine technology, Scirus searches over 167 million science-specific Web pages, enabling you to quickly:


    • Pinpoint scientific, scholarly, technical and medical data on the Web.
    • Find the latest reports, peer-reviewed articles and journals that other search engines miss.
    • Offer unique functionalities designed for scientists and researchers.


    My blurb: 


    Search for 'breasts' and you'll get nothing JanetJackson-ized.  Search for 'pussy' and you'll get good science on pussy willows and pussy cats but not a single mention of I-bet-I-know-what-you're-thinking.  If you search on my last name you'll get 12 links to my academic teaching history and all my scientific publications (you'll just have to take my word on this).  Search for 'love' and, well, okay, so it isn't perfect!  ha   But it's still the best damn scientific/medical search engine there is.
