Whacking Google & AutoElaboration
You know the Autosummarize feature in Microsoft Word? How come nobody has developed Auto-elaborate yet? The way I imagine it, you'd give it an introductory sentence, the conclusion, a couple of points along the way, some names, some rhetorical questions and away you go. A 2000 word white paper in 3 seconds. A product brochure in no time at all. For chrissakes a book in under a minute.
Why does this product not yet exist? I don't know.
Speaking of other things I don't know, it seems that Googlewhacking will be recognised as an Olympic sport any day now, its popularity seems to know no bounds. But I was thinking that when you type in something really popular which returns 32,000,000 hits, how do we know for sure that actual figure is not made up? I'm guessing that most people don't go beyond the second page of search query results before changing or refining a search. So does anyone actually check pages 3 - 3,200,000? (on a ten results per page query) No I don't think they do.
All of which means I can set up my own search engine which secretly queries Google and then presents the first two pages of results on my engine's screen. I then set up a little script which generates a random number between 10 and 100,000 and then subtracts or adds that to the Google results total which I then show on my results page - so as not to arouse suspicion. Hey presto I have a search engine which equals Google in about 20 minutes. I'll call it something silly like Yahoogle! and 10 minutes later I'm famous. With no startup or infrastructure costs. That's gotta work!
And that's how I'm going to knock Google off its perch, make a billion dollars inside of six months and fund the development of an Auto-elaboration plugin for Word. Which, of course, I'll then advertise on every page of my by then leading search engine.
