I can’t help noticing that the comments on this blog are like a giant virtual brain. It’s hard to imagine any question I could ask that would stump you, collectively.
You might say Google is like a giant brain too, but it’s missing something. While Google’s algorithms are impressive, sometimes a question requires the “x-factor” that only another human, or collection of humans can grok. For example, if I asked Google what is more manly – a lamp or a pillow – I would get no useful answer. But the great Blog Brain would tell me the correct answer (lamp).
I’m going to test the Great Blog Brain with a little question that has been stumping me. I’m sure a Google search would come up empty because the answer requires intuition and personal experience and marketing savvy.
