Blogdex: a modern oracle or the new Pagerank? blogdex ：一個現代甲骨文或新的PageRank嗎？

I read a great我看過一個偉大 article文章 on the Blogger site that presents an interesting argument about blogging: an emergent property of this widespread and growing phenomenon is that it has become an oracle of sorts.就在Blogger網站介紹了一個有趣的論點，關於Blogging ：一新興的財產，這和廣泛的現象日益嚴重的是，它已經成為甲骨文的種種。 There is a certain collective intelligence when you have the power of numbers, diversity of opinion, and freedom of both medium and content.有一定的集體智慧當您有權力的號碼，各種不同的意見，和自由，雙方的媒介和內容。 If we have methods to analyse the overwhelming mass of data (see如果我們有方法來分析，絕大多數群眾的數據（見 Blogdex blogdex and和 Technocrati technocrati for examples) we should be able to answer questions and predict trends about popular topics more accurately than any given individual weblogger.為例子） ，我們應該能夠回答提問，並預測發展趨勢受歡迎的話題，更準確，比任何個別weblogger 。

This is strikingly similar to the process of biological evolution whose effectiveness in what I would describe as life itself solving the problem of staying alive is related to population size, phenotypic variation and its underlying genetic variation, and availability of diverse environments with subtle variations.這是驚人的相似之處的過程中生物進化，其成效在什麼我會形容為生命本身的問題的解決在下榻的活著是有關人口規模，表型變異及其背後的遺傳變異和供貨情況的不同環境與微妙的變化。

If we have methods to analyse the overwhelming mass of data (see如果我們有方法來分析，絕大多數群眾的數據（見 Blogdex blogdex and和 Technocrati technocrati for example) we should be able to answer questions and predict trends about popular topics more accurately than any given individual weblogger, in much the same way that an evolutionary biologist may look for answers to biology questions using genetic and phenotypic analysis舉例來說）我們應該能夠回答提問，並預測發展趨勢受歡迎的話題，更準確，比任何個別weblogger ，在很多的相同方式的進化生物學家可能尋找答案生物學問題，用遺傳和表型分析
of populations.人口。

Neat, however I am concerned that it may be possible for special interests prone to deceitful tricks, who once aware of this phenomenon, may try to take advantage of this by unleashing hordes of minimum wage webloggers upon the system.整齊，不過我擔心它可能為特殊利益，容易騙術，誰一旦意識到這個現象，可能會嘗試利用這個由解放成群的最低工資webloggers後，該系統。 Keep in mind there are already some savvy companies out there who are paying their employees to regularly maintain a public blog.請記住，現在已經有一些精明的公司在那裡誰支付其僱員的定期維持一個公共的博客。 Once money is involved will the collective intelligence of webloggers be eroded?一旦涉及金錢是將集體的智慧， webloggers受到侵蝕？ In fact I wonder how hard it would really be to write some robot code that can maintain a weblog..just convincing enough that it would be hard to distinguish from a real blogger.事實上，我不知道如何努力，它真的會寫一些機器人的代碼可以維持一個博客..剛才有說服力不夠，這將是很難區分從一個真正的Blogger 。 Probably not so也許並非如此
hard, I’m sure some AI folk out there could answer that question.艱苦奮鬥，我敢肯定，一些愛民歌，有可能會回答這個問題。

A truly useful feature that catapulted Google to stardom,一個真正有用的功能， catapulted Google的明星， Pagerank的PageRank succumbed to some major problems once closeknit “communities” that shared common goals took advantage of its algorithms for assessing how authoritative content is on a subject based on how many other popular content sources link to it.屈服於一些重大問題，一旦closeknit的“社區”這一共同的共同目標，利用其算法的評估如何權威性的內容是關於一個主題的基礎上有多少其他受歡迎的內容來源指向它的鏈接。 As Google has become the Microsoft of information access, it has been prone to many attacks and has also been put in a position where it needs to make moral decisions on behalf of its users.由於Google已經成為微軟的信息訪問，但已容易許多攻擊，並且還提出了一個不錯的地方，它需要作出道義上的決定，代表其用戶。 For some interesting discussion see一些有趣的討論見 Google Watch Google的觀賞 , where you can see that despite “best intentions” Google is often in an impossibly tricky situation, and that Google makes mistakes like everyone else. ，在這裡您可以看到，儘管“最好的意圖， ” Google是往往在一個極端微妙的情況下，而且Google犯錯誤和其他人一樣。

Speaking of blogging, I have been struggling to get going on a regular blogging schedule and I thought a log entry about logging may just be what I needed to throw off the writer’s block.在談到博客，我一直在掙扎，以獲得持續定期就博客的時間表和我以為日誌條目約測井可能只是我需要擺脫作家的座。 We’ll see if it worked!!!我們將看到如果它的工作！
