Google’s world-class sentiment analysis system

Google has the  Large-Scale Sentiment Analysis for News and Blogs system to make sure that negative advertising does not help to improve SEO for bad reputation companies. However, it turns out not to work all the time  (See that disturbing story).

Google Blog (2010-12-01) –  In the last few days we developed an algorithmic solution which detects the merchant from the Times article along with hundreds of other merchants that, in our opinion, provide a extremely poor user experience. The algorithm we incorporated into our search rankings represents an initial solution to this issue, and Google users are now getting a better experience as a result.

We can’t say for sure that no one will ever find a loophole in our ranking algorithms in the future. We know that people will keep trying: attempts to game Google’s ranking, like the ones mentioned in the article, go on 24 hours a day, every single day. That’s why we cannot reveal the details of our solution—the underlying signals, data sources, and how we combined them to improve our rankings—beyond what we’ve already said. We can say with reasonable confidence that being bad to customers is bad for business on Google. And we will continue to work hard towards a better search. read more …

Google’s secret social networking project is delayed

Gigitaltrends (2010-11-30) -Looks like Facebook can dominate the market a little bit longer, as Google is pushing back its social plans as far back as April 2011.

You win some, you lose some. As Google is rumored to be closing a deal to acquire wildly popular Groupon, it’s also delaying the launch of its social networking feature. Dubbed “Google Me” by the media, talk about the Facebook rival first grabbed attention in July, when a Wall Street Journalreport broke the news that the searchengine giant was in discussions with Facebook game developers, such as Zynga. read more ...

Interpol Issues ‘Red Notice’ for Arrest of WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange

It does remind me of Russia when people can be framed and accused of anything because of their political view or religion. I hope that’s not the case as I really believe in the United States democracy, freedom principals and freedom of speech.

Is Julian Assange really connected to any sex crime investigation? Is he framed? Time will hopefully let us know… or may be not…

Does it have anything to do with a recent information became available off the WikiLEaks website?

Wired (2011-11-30) -The international police organization Interpol has issued a Red Notice for the arrest of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, in connection with a sex crime investigation in Sweden.

A Red Notice is kind of international wanted poster seeking the provisional arrest of a fugitive, with an eye towards extradition to the nation that issued the underlying arrest warrant. Interpol transmits the notices to its 188 member countries, including Britain, where Assange is believed to be located. Interpol has no authority to compel a subject’s arrest. It issued 5,020 Red Notice last year for a variety of crimes. read more. read more…
