| So, naturally I'm a fan of Google. I have the toolbar on my desktop at work, so I'm now used to it guessing what I say. I've never really taken much notice of how it tries to second-guess what I say, but today was an exception. It seems that it guesses what you are trying to search for based on a) what you said before; and b) the most popular searches.
If I put in "sha"... it second guesses "shareholder...", since that is quite a common search of mine. If you look at the general searches, it suggests Shakespeare... Shakespeare in love... Shakespeare sonnets... poems... etc. All make perfect sense, right? Now, what about recipe. I put in recipe today, as was looking... funnily enough for a recipe. Now, let me remind you. This is based on popular searches that begin with recipe... I got the following list:
recipe devilled eggs
recipe hot cross buns
recipe dog food
recipe banana bread
recipe meat loaf
How bizarre!
*EDIT* Have just tried Amy Kennedy. I get... Amy Kennedy photography... Amy Kennedy oxygen... Amy Kennedy pentecostal. Is there a hidden message, here?
Ollie Williams gets family guy... soundboard... quotes.
Enough now. I shouldn't be allowed out of work early.
