Visualizing Googlespace. I've received a number of interesting responses to my current BYTE.com column on the Google API. Nelson Minar, former Popular Power CTO who's now with Google, wrote to point out that since HTML doctitles are of uncertain quality, the snippets (relevant text chunks) returned by the Google API might form an interesting search space. When I tried that, though, the results didn't seem to diverge enough. The name of the game, in this kind of surfing, is to chart a course through googlespace that diverges enough to turn up interesting new connections, but not so much as to end up off in the weeds.

When Markets Go Mad About $4 trillion in market wealth vanished between the April 2000 bursting of the Nasdaq bubble and its recent stabilization at lower levels. Could investors have seen it coming? Better yet, could financial regulators have picked up on subtle clues and acted beforehand to prevent the crash? Perhaps. Researchers have found an increased level of predictability in certain complex systems just before large changes. Such changes, they say, can be the result of information encoded within the system's global state. 10:26:35 AM ![]() |
