Google and Search Relevance: Will a Robot Do This Work?
November 11, 2014
I flicked through Drudge Report this morning (November 11, 2014). One story and graphic caught my eye.
Here’s a snap of the animation for “Dawn of the Google Machines.”

Now this is a pretty friendly robot. I think most children under the age of five would see this device as a variant of a bunny, a deer, or a puppy.
The technology is impressive. My question, “Will the resources flowing into this friendly chap improve query relevance on Google Web search?”
I am confident this cuddly creature will make search really, really better. Perhaps Google can provide this fuzzy creature to pre-schools and kindergarten to explain why Google search is just so darned relevant.
Whir, beep, click.
