One problem with machines reading natural language is that they don’t cope very well with metaphor. Case in point: I get a steady stream of search engine traffic from people looking for information about ant nests. Seeing these visitors on my referrers list causes me a degree of guilt at clicks wasted and searches frustrated. But as fortune would have it, one of my favourite sites recently put up a couple of articles about ants and ant nests, allowing me to redirect these folk there and assuage my conscience.
Do check out Tracking Ants and Nest-casting on BLDGBLOG - they’re both great reads. If you’re here for both ants and games/simulations, I recommend to you the fabulous but flawed SimAnt, which I’ll maybe write about in more detail one day.
