Is Google Being Human?

Hi Everyone,
Imagine a world without Google! Hard to imagine... isn’t it? That shows how dependent we are on the Internet that's almost synonymous with Google. The search giant has become a resourceful mining ground that can extract ‘valuable results" for every user. Although the best user experience cannot be guaranteed at all times, it nevertheless satisfies the optimum requirement for most netizens, so to speak.

So, it’s possible to say that Google in a way has been able to channelize the potential resources on the Internet to the end user. Without the concept of a common platform where a user can generate queries about a certain subject, the available information would be of no use. So there we have Google to our rescue. We ask questions and Google has answers.

Without Google, we would be like dry, deserted pebbles strewn near a giant waterfall, helplessly waiting to get soaked in the water... got the drift... huh?

Not only that, Google goes a step ahead and suggests, it even does the thinking for us. It suggests, it reads our minds... to save us from all the wrong keyword queries that may NOT lead us to correct results. It saves our time, it teaches us to search better. Oh there comes the glitch! So, we stop thinking, the only thing we think is keywords... if you miss the right keywords you MAY never get what you want.

And then a day comes when...

Panda strikes...

It asks "What’s this keyword for?"
"Where’s the quality?"
It says "We can now guess what you people really want."
"We know what to deliver!"
"Start thinking folks...
"Cos if you have just learned to read us carefully to the minutest detail, wait you are not reading, you are gaming us! Yes, that's what we call it - gaming Google."

But for us Googlers, it’s time to rejoice...

Because Google is not playing God anymore. Google bots are trying to be human, and so we need not be technologically-addicted netizens anymore. How much and how far Google manages to bridge the gap between us & its bots, only time will tell.

After all... it’s extremely difficult being human!

It’d still be a dream to see Google feel the pulse of our searches and render "MIND-blowing" results. Easier said than done! Rest assured, we’ve a lot of good things happening around... We need NOT be net-savvy, technologically evolved, Google-friendly, SEO-compatible, and compulsively obsessed about the latest updates from Matt Cutts.
