Google, Facebook, Amazon: algorithms will soon rule our lives so we'd better understand how they work - Telegraph Blogs Algorithms are vital to the internet because they help to order and arrange vast volumes of data at a scale and speed impossible for a human. Google's famous PageRank algorithm counts the number of links to a page and assesses their quality to determine how important a website is. The quality and quantity of websites' links to each other are compared and ordered; the more important websites are displayed first on the Google search page when a search query is entered. http://bit.ly/1irKHZN Source: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/jamiebartlett/100012905/google-facebook-amazon-algorithms-will-soon-rule-our-lives-so-wed-better-understand-how-they-work/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1irKHZN+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
