Google´s größte “Gemeinnis” enttarnt

Das größte Geheimnis von Google wurde gestern von einen niederländischen Jounalist namens Henk van Ess enttarnt. In seinem ersten Post(Link gibts unten) auf SearchBistro zeigte er die Öffentlichkeit, dass Google mit menschlichen Redakteuren arbeite…

U might have a point mate. Any algo can be at least partially deducted through euristhics and that’s where the humans might help…but after all you talked bout a learning algo.

I see that as a space ship powered with human slaves instead of fuel and I told u that

They’ll have plenty to worry once Google will become once again undisputed leader in serving relevant results.

Razvan Pop is trying to point out that this leaked secret is in in fact a part of a bigger PR campaign with the role of getting image for Google. I think that indeed there is nothing to worry for Yahoo
