Google's April Hoax

Post by Norbert »

Google announced a new search engine feature predicting future web sites. This would be based partly on recurrence plots. But it's just an April hoax.

Found at http://groups.google.com/group/Archive_ ... b1d69f85b6
Google Australia announces [6]gDay, a new feature of Google that lets you search today the web pages published tomorrow. "Google spiders crawl publicly available web information and our index of historic, cached web content. Using a mashup of numerous factors such as recurrence plots, fuzzy measure analysis, online betting odds and the weather forecast from the iGoogle weather gadget, we can create a sophisticated model of what the internet will look like 24 hours from now. We can use this technique to predict almost anything on the web – tomorrow's share price movements, sports results or news events. Plus, using language regression analysis, Google can even predict the actual wording of blogs and newspaper columns, 24 hours before they're written!"
