Sifting through a lot of cruft on google. This kind of
sifting might be a good example of using a EEG based
BCI (brain-computer) interface ... You write a layer on
top of google that does this:
1) You type in your keywords and press search.
2) Google flashes the first match (page) at you.
3) It's either cruft or interesting, so you think
- yes or no, or
- red or green, or
- whatever triggers a pattern
4) Google keeps flashing pages at you
(it can now html convert pdfs easily)
5) The interesting pages get reindexed
6) You flash through 100 or more matches.
7) Now have all interesting stuff, no cruft.
This is really how I find this stuff, but the hard way,
maybe one out of every 15 pages is really related, maybe
1 out of 50 is a gem. Those meta search engines still
can't sift out the cruft, we still need a mind to do
that. It sure would be cool to do this sifting with no
hands ...
