Your web presence! MIT project

Don't know if it belongs here, but here's a link to an interesting MIT project that code the presence of your first and last name, or other stuff I guess, on the internet.  Kind of like campaign ribbons.

Reply #1 BigTrey's post

strikes me as being singularly useless unless you're already famous or have a totally unique name

don't get it, don't get what it's trying to show




Hear Ye!  The Mayor has spoken!

Does that really useful ?
I doubt that it is not useful at all......
And what can they do if two people got the same name ?
For e.g. Tom Hanks, then use Tom Hanks 1, Tom Hanks 2 ?

Wow, this is a rather creative project. All you have to do is enter your name, and it searches the web for information and attempts to characterize you. So i assume it will just hit all the internet search engines and look for keywords associated to webpages your name occurs in and aim to characterize you. But as fattyc mentions, just searching one name can possibly result in millions of entries.....so how can you be sure the person you search for is the person you aimed at? Interesting project though.
