Books and music that make you dumb?
March 11th, 2009
Marisa Taylor has a great piece about a rather enterprising (if not unimaginable) project by Virgil Griffith, which takes very public data and puts it together in a way you wouldn’t expect. Very interesting in terms of Facebook trends and data mining.
Says Virgil:
On weekends, I use data-mining to make the Internet a better and more interesting place.
True, true. Just look at what WikiScanner did to expose so-called anonymous Wikipedia edits.
