Yeah well! Doesn’t that say it all?
But brevity flies out of the window when I’m very annoyed or very happy.
Ok, so they turned email into search. They turned chat into search. They turned communities into search. They turned people and pictures and postcards and pretty much the whole planet and beyond into search. Life is a quest!
Search is not prêt a porter anymore. It's haute couture.
Crawling the whole wide world became stale. So they ‘personalised’ my search and my bookmarks and what have you – in other words, my preferences – and tracked me down to the last tag that they believe defines me ‘personally’. So that they can recommend relevant ads and stuff in my mail box and sometimes even on the webpages I land on.
They even tied down my blogs to my user account and promptly informed me that they’re not dumb enough to offer a revert option. And, the new version doesn’t like being exported – Do no evil, darling!
If this tracker were human, it would be very confused by now!! Tracking is okay. Collating all my ‘preferences’ is okay too. I just hope they’re not trying to make composite sense out of it all. That would land the poor thing in an asylum. Kya karen, I am tho like that only!
I’m not complaining. Naah! Just getting inspired. My current project pretty much thrives on this inspiration – in a different context though. Besides, what’s wrong with customization? People are customizing and personalizing their unborn kid’s eye color! Everything goes.
So am I happy or annoyed right now? Well! Look me up. Oops! I mean call me or gmail me or gtalk me or..... if ESP is your thing, try it. I have a feeling ESP might be the next big thing in search!
My $0.02: The universe is out there and it is searchable and who knows even customizable. If only the SETI Institute (Search for Extra Terresterial Intelligence) could do some soul searching and tie up with them.. God knows what the search might throw up!
