VentureBeat: Intel’s bullshit filter exposes disputed information on the Internet

    I was expecting something very different from the title... Maybe a big rant about Intel and their terrible filters? :)

    Anyway, I like their plugin and will give a try.

    That's a pretty awesome gadget - though the potential for misuse is also pretty high.

    So basically, every snippet of text on the internet will be highlighted for dispute, making it virtually impossible to read anything without wading through a pile of opposing claims that may or may not be credible. And all this on the basis of user perceptions of credibility? I'm skeptical.

    Seems like "sticky notes" or "comments" in MS Word to me. . . Hmmm. If the only people who were permitted to use / license this were the authors (whose work was edited in a way that they didn't authorize before publication), news / site ombudsman or editors in chief, or academic research types, all with known contact information & bios made available upon comment, I'd be more likely to trust it.
