Comment Open Editing Model Versus Rhetoric (Score 1) 303



Recently Google has come under fire for changing the result of searches for specific countries. Since the release of GoogleAds, Google changes the results for searches in order to support their advertising business model. Google has also "punished" organizations that try to take advantage of this model in a manner that is not "traditional searching", for cases where GoogleAds were used, and even where they were not.

Given this context, with a recent slashdot article describing how various politicians have had their constituents edit their respective wiki topics, do you see a model for the wiki to inhibit this kind of abuse, without removing the means of the wiki which allows for open editing?

Thanks! ~tim

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Fourteen - Success

WOW,
Once again it has been a while since i have written in this online journal thing, but for good reason! I have been busy, making some great software on the J2EE spec! In fact, i got a caching machine going for my RSS handler, and got banned by /.!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Last evening, i had my first in and out RSS Item transaction. Pretty sweet, it means that things are working, and i have paved the way for the beginning of our web app. It looks down right DIRTY. T i

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Thirteen - Finishin it up

AWESOME

At the chip, 3 out of 4, down and out baby! Wrapping the world up and loving it! Not that it is making me bored, just that it is very satisfying to get things off the plate.

and speaking of the plate, IT IS A LARGE PLATE. T and I are making strides, but there is still much to be done, i am really going to have to turn it up even more... Other good news is i think i may have P back on board. For various reasons, the most important being that I may NEED him...

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Twelve - Workin It

Yo

I am getting pretty decent at keeping this thing going every week or so. Good for me. I am workin it well on the food spot, unfortunately immediately after lunch it makes me incredibly... groggy would be the word. Not entirely tired, but just BLEH. I tend to try to most of my DB loads during this time, so i can let them fly, and put my brain on the easier think zone.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Eleven - Head Start

Hi There,

Normally it would seem to be another week or so before i got to write in this thing, but i am taking a moment while i wait for some sybase batch loads to finish, to type at my favorite quick content holder.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Ten - Life is Good

Hi Journal, As usual it has been about 2 weeks since i made an entry, i think most people use these things in a different manner than i do, but dah well. I am sure it will change over time to be many different outlets of thoughts and data.

well now lets see... alpha is moving along well, i think that we will not have everything done on time, but i think we will have a lot more stuff on the table than we anticipated, so it should balance out.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Nine - RIGHT ON!

YES!

So P and I found the place! We are trying to find an effective way to get out of our current place, with speed and ease. The place is absolutely perfect, in that it is what we need, in the right area, and the extra space, just makes one feel good about their self overall.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Eight - WOAH

Hi there, well, it has once again been WAY too long since my last journal entry, but things have been so busy this time, i almost don't feel bad. the only reason i would feel bad at all is because with so much going on, it is a shame that i cannot keep better track of it!

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Seven - DOH!

HAHAHAHAHA - and just like the last post commented on how easy things can change in a day, it now seems much less likely that we will be able to work things out in cambridge. We are looking into some other places now though. And i think it will be better off as far as price and size goes.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Six - Drastic!

Woah, just WOAH.

As of yesterday, i was not sure if the company could pull off getting some employees, and moving forward on getting some office space. Now, however, it seems that things can change DRASTICALLY, in just one day.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Five - Back at it!

Journal Journal: Journale Entry Four - Sure Enough!

Sure Enough! I have become distracted with other things, and forgot to maintain a well updated journal! Dah well!

In recent things, I went to Montreal and it was a blast! Got some new kicks, pretended to speak French with a lot of people, and had a blast with the C$ all weekend! WAHOOO!!!

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Three

The party went off without a hitch and was a complete success! The C$ finished her costume and everyone agreed that her idea was a unique and creative one. I was Major Nelson, the Genie's counterpart! It felt funny to play at being an officer, while actually wearing someones past military uniform!

There were quite a few devils, and quite a few clergy, including T, as an Alter Boy and N as a Nun. TH and KW also came with the clergy, but I am just glad that they could make it at all.

Journal Journal: Journal Entry Two

Life is good! Work is going well on the Alpha project, my good friend KP is engaged, and I am gearing up for my rager on Saturday. The C$ and I are getting along amazingly well, and I see no end to it. There is so much going on, and I see no end to it either!

Journal Journal: Journal Entry One

Well,... I have been reading /. for about 5 years now,... might as well become a member!

I have never been good at keeping a consistent journal, only the occasional textpad entries or paragraphs into my notebook would accurately represent any kind of journal. Perhaps this opportunity will allow me to get some consistency going!
