Quote to Note: Craziness about Facebook Search
January 29, 2013
Here’s a quote to note. I don’t want to lose this puppy. I spotted it in the dead tree edition of the New York Times. The location of this notable phrase is the business section, page B 7. The story containing the quote is “Facebook’s Search Had to Go Beyond Robospeak.” The story explains the wonderfulness of Facebook’s beta search system. We love Facebook search. How could the company possibly improve on a graph surfing system which blocks outfits like Yandex from indexing content. No way. Anyway, here’s the quote:
Letting users talk with a computer on their own terms.
Oh, baby. Do I love this type of insightful comment about search and retrieval. I was not aware that I was able to talk with Facebook, but what do I know. Even better I live the idea of doing the talking on my own terms.
How interesting is this statement about letting users talk with a computer? Beyond interesting. The statement ventures into the fantasyland of every person who watched and confused Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mary had a little lamb.
A keeper.
