I think it's one of the stars from "Jersey shore" (or something like that). According to South Park (where I've learned that) she is small, fat and not particularly bright. So this seems spot on :)
Google suggest is a really quite frightening window on the world. How many people have to type "How can I get my wife to cheat" into Google before it shows up here?
Great project idea, but I can't get it to actually work.
I'm encountering a similar error to Toucan with respect to the spacing. If I enter a query "MIT is", Google is returning results that include "is" as part of a larger word. Ex: "MIT Israel divestment". I'd like to query "MIT is " -- including the space -- but it looks like your query strips it out. I think this fix would return much better results.
Also, it looks like even when returning the result "MIT Israel divestment," the returned result is stripping the first few characters. Examples:
I can obviously get it to work with most queries. I was just pointing out that it does seem to strip out letters or return a poor result if the query is part of a larger word.
Yes, I'm using "X is"; I used "MIT is" in my comment for greater clarity.
This is pretty cool, but it's hard to think of good parameters that generate a funny or interesting diagram. Maybe you could think of some more suggestions.
According to mine it's differentiated by being "better than PC" and being illegal.
More confusingly it enjoys relationships with Ryan and Kyle (a soap?), "ulay culkin dead" which I'm assuming was a rumour about the Home Alone star, and "ookout pregnant again", which really confused me when I assumed it was referring to Macbooks...
This is probably very politically incorrect, but if you put different enthnicities or nationalities (blacks, French people, whites) as parameters, it's pretty easy to see what people's stereotypes are.
It's shocking, but also shockingly funny. Caveat emptor, guys. Personally, I'm appalled but hardly surprised. On average, the internet remains a very stupid place.
Ohh look at the koreans part: "good at starcraft". I don't know if it's awesome (or sad) that Korean stereotypes (can I call it a stereotype? Since this is probably completely 100% true anyways), include being good at starcraft as one of their most talked about traits.
The "Barack Obama is a cactus" thing had me really confused until I searched for it myself. It's an Onion article, and a funny one.
The "ues" "am" and "ael" entries seem to be a result of how the query is handled. "Hillary Clinton issues" is the autocomplete; it's dropping the s after "is" and giving us "ues".
I find it interesting that these are what people are actually searching for. It looks like most of those common "search terms" are already formed opinions and ppl are mearly searching to see if others agree with them.
This is pretty cool. On a side-note, both technomancy and I attended Clojure Conj this weekend. I wonder where he found the time to do this. I know I was exhausted at the end of it and pretty much all of Sunday veg-ing on my couch.
Actually, I'm not connected to the original 'technomancy'. I've never met the guy. I just liked the domain name (from reading Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon), and it's my personal domain name. I think 'technomancy' is on 'http://technomancy.us.
whenever question is about people - "rude, stupid", about
hardware, companies, etc... - "popular, successful".
Pretty much summarizes nature of human civilization.
