Eric Schmidt mentioned yesterday at LeWeb that some sort of 'noise control' will be coming to Google+. Obviously they focus their attention to algorithmically tell us what's most interesting, but there also will be ways to explicitly do it yourself (don't quite believe it, but we'll see.)(08.12.11)

funny to read this against Yegge's rant http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3101876 ("Google+ is a knee-jerk reaction, a study in short-term thinking, predicated on the incorrect notion that Facebook is successful because they built a great product. But that's not why they are successful. Facebook is successful because they built an entire constellation of products by allowing other people to do the work...")(13.10.11)

kk 12 years ago: "The beauty of network logic is that the mechanics of this software does not rely on artificial intelligence, or AI. Rather the collaborative work is done by pooling the teaching that each person would do alone into one distributed base. It's an example of dumb power. Lots of people teaching a dumb program, but all connected together, producing useful intelligence. The strength of the network is built by the slim bits of information that each member is willing to share. Sometimes that's all it takes."(02.09.11)
