i don't want to meet the people who share the same search words as myself. |
|
| |
nor me! want to meet the people who share the same search words as benfrost - that is. |
|
| |
Interesting how frequently you would encounter people searching for the same. Let Y be the number of people it is most probable to meet, and X be the search expression or word, in a probability descending order. |
|
| |
I wonder why wouldn't [benfrost] want to meet such people. I think it is okay, as far as searching and chatting is anonymous. |
|
| |
Cool! I knew I was not alone when I came up with this idea. Check out http://www.chatnsearch.com/ . Not sure why google didnt rank them at the top. |
|
| |
www.chatnsearch.com is lacking popularity. But it _would_ work if it was made by Google. |
|
| |
I just thought of something similar, yesterday - turn your search words and a short critera in to an experienced searcher, have them search for you and report back, a real person search engine. (Height of laziness?, maybe) I like your idea. |
|
| |
I know nothing of X. So, in searching for X, I meet others who are also searching for X. Some are simple searchers, Boolean in their habits, while others are advanced, yet all can honestly say, “Hell, I didn’t know that either.” |
|
| |
Yeah, I agree it's not the best way to meet people you want. |

Then I hope it gets a good amount of attention thanks to this page. |

One must note, however, how sophisticated such a feature can get. It should be able to not just identify similar sets of words, but utilize some good thesaurus programming in the process of finding fellow searchers. To get more advanced, it could include unique usernames chosen by the searchers, and even link to forum threads on recent or frequent search topics. |
|
| |
Considering all the features which one could work into it, it's not suprising that //it _would_ work...//, and work far more powerfully, //...if it was made by Google//. |

*Thinks into that a little more.* Whoa. Ideally, if this got steered in the right direction, it could be made into one of the enhancements that really streamline the information age. Maybe I'm dreaming too big, but I'm having fun doing it. |

Like other search methods, this could be easily hijacked by businesses. Searching for "X", you're connected to salesperson @ company "X4U" business who happens to also be "searching" (truly, but just fishing really) and can point you to a "great site they just found!" |
|
| |
yeah, so I don't like ads. But even if you like ads, would you consider a random salesman your buddy? And wouldn't this horribly bias your search rather than improve your search? |

I haven't had a proper conversation with someone over 18 in about a fortnight. I'm going nuts. Incidentally, <Sophocles>. Got any pointers on Antigone, I'm doing a version with my students. |
|
| |
I wrote antigone thousands of years ago. I have a hard enough time commenting on writings from last month. But, if you're looking for conversation with someone over 18, well, sophocles is 2500 now, so he's your guy. |
