DiscussI remember the day I heard about "google", and that it was this new search engine that would be the next big thing because of how it worked... pretty much just trawling every "weblink" it could find. And ranking according to how many links there were. Thought: "Bullshit, easily manipulatible". Kept using AskJeeves for as long as possible. Nek Minnut... biggest thing ever, and, kinda... yeah.
Wikipedia as #1 - Respect. A whole lot of fuckig respect for those fluffybunnies, to the point of considering donations. -

It is a great concept but I wouldn't trust it anymore than an engineer designing an underwater stadium.

In the little areas I know about stuff Wiki has always been pretty on the ball, but I assume there's areas where it just bounces back and forward between things.
@Kruse I used to use AskJeeves all the time too.
The final season of Halt and Catch Fire is basically about search engine wars.

UK Council signage is an art form of confusion and bewilderment, usually with a camera somewhere to catch and fine anyone that hasn't learned to simply avoid areas with multiple signs as your interpretation will most certainly not be the same as theirs. -

Wasn't sure where to put this, mods can move it to its own thread if need be.
I found this quite interesting. I won't give away what letters relate to what traits, but I came out mostly conscientious with a splash of agreeableness, which was a little surprising to me but probably makes sense.
