Comment on Here’s What’s Behind the Samsung/Apple Patent Showdown by andy

Hang on a sec - the tab has always had a camera right, and was out before the ipad2? So is the iPad2 not just copying the tab?! FFS Apple - get off your high horse and stop being such petulant pricks about everything

Why Google and Demand Media Are Headed for a Showdown

A chorus of complaints about spammy results in Google searches highlights a growing problem the search company is going to have to solve -- and doing so will inevitably bring it into conflict with Demand Media, currently planning a high-profile IPO for later this year.

Didn't you forget about the content scrapers? If I would know that the content originated at a certain point I would look around more, since I found something interesting to begin with. If one looks around on a content scraped site its just noise. So what Google needs is a Context driven system. But unlike many Journalist who think Google spreads itself to thin with autonomous cars I'm not sure. I studied vision too, for my foray into a Context Orientated language. I mean any vision system organizes more data into context with a ?Mhz system than most data centers can do with TFlops systems. Why? Certainly there must be something better than OO for that kind of modeling, which [not] surprisingly has got some attention from other companies working in that field. Either Google is up to something, or they are just a big company not knowing how to use [their] research to improve their own main product. In other words I find it curious that they research autonomous cars. If they build a context driven evaluation system the content farm problem solution will be a fallout. Another fallout is identifying the originator of a given text, given some previous/other texts. But on the other hand they are not comparing ideas with other people, there are only very few people working on context without statistics (see above) for modeling as an example. So either Google will surprise us or they will be in for a surprise. Based on how long it took to get here it's most likely the later, but who knows.

Comment on Why Google and Demand Media Are Headed for a Showdown by Jon

I don't think that Google will have to change to much to get rid of these content farms. What these content farms have discovered is that it doesn't take much to rank in Google for oddball terms because there isn't very much competition. Over the next 5 to 10 years I think a lot of these demand media companies are going to be pushed out by sites like StackOverflow. Q and A sites like StackOverflow and the like capture a lot of long tail keywords, but actually provide much better information and they do this without paying the writers.

Thanks for the comment, David. I have read a lot of Demand articles, although I have not done an exhaustive comparison of them. While I'm sure there are some that are excellent quality, there are quite a lot that are poorly written, confusingly worded and contain little useful information apart from the keywords they require to maintain a high search ranking.
