I was pleased to see recently that Clif High from Half Past Human and Web Bot fame had emerged again recently and had been doing some interviews. The last I heard was that he was working data for the formulation of the latest round of Web Bot predictions and suffered some kind of computer or server attack, losing much or all of his data. As I understand it, he's back working with the data again and a new "Shape of Things to Come" newsletter has recently been made available (in May) from Half Past Human.
From what I've read and can imagine, sifting through the Web Bot data and doing the analysis the takes Clif and his team weeks once their proprietary software has completed crawling the web gathering the raw data. I was fortunate to have also listened to a recent interview that Clif had done with Veritas Radio around the same time, however, that interview appears to have been pulled from the open web (otherwise I'd post that one here as well), and instead it costs eight dollars a month for a subscription to Veritas in order to view their content. That's kind of a bummer, since I could listen to Clif for hours on end, but the interview below touches on a lot of the same subject matter.
The always intriguing, provocative and highly intelligent linguistics expert talks about what he has found recently in terms of language patterns on the web, and what we could be looking at going forward in 2011, including developments in ongoing events such as the Fukushima disaster. It's another excellent interview with Clif from Time Monk Radio Network, the Web Bot Forum's YouTube channel. The interview is in 12 parts, all of which should be accessible within the window below. If not, hop on over to their YT channel and check it out.
