wolven7Portishead - [Undenied]--- 'Dutch startup Scoutle marries different networking ideas to deliver what they call an “Automated Social Networking for Bloggers.”
'Scoutle operates via webcrawlers they call Scouts. Users create their own personal Scouts, for example one for their blog, another for their Facebook or similar profile, and the scouts “walk through the Internet,” by meeting other Scouts with similar interests or profiles, creating a contact between both.
'Results from the Scouts are constantly being compared, delivering a realtime guide that allows users to see which blog on a certain topic, in a certain language or country is most relevant to the user at a specific moment. Users can also create networks based on specific topics or personal groups and see who is best ranked within these networks. '
It's like having a personal AI organiser/Alfred. (Suzanne Vega - [Solitude Standing]). That's fucking Brilliant.
I worry about "similarity" algorithms, though, because similar interests do not a friendship make. It's personality, and the ability to discuss those places where you do not overlap.
And maybe that's a part of my problem, lately, too? Perhaps I'm looking for a definition of thing, that simply doesn't mesh with most other people's definition of that thing.
Whatever.
Dreams of lots of things, including long lines at the water park, and someone making a post about things that were important to them.

jaerven: 'The Pope's chief astronomer says that life on Mars cannot be ruled out.
'Writing in the Vatican newspaper, the astronomer, Father Gabriel Funes, said intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space.
'Father Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory near Rome, is a respected scientist who collaborates with universities around the world.
'The search for forms of extraterrestrial life, he says, does not contradict belief in God.'
No, it doesn't. Seegreygirlbeast's entry, here: http://greygirlbeast.livejournal.com/449497.html
And think about it this way: Were I The Creator, I would have told everyone and everything I created exactly what I knew they could handle, at that time, and then tried to make it work as best as possible. But free will and the ability to interpret and find symbols and patterns in anything would then make my life a bit difficult.
