I wouldn't have needed to ask if If I just wanted a blatant explanation about the technology behind it.  I already understand the technology.

I wanted to have some post-modern, deconstructionist conversation around how the image I posted above seems to have so many parallels with the kind of conversation we have here every day.

It's some kind of Web 2.0 or 3.0 application thing.  I don't know how they work but one of my web developer friends told me about this shit one time, and it's the first time I've ever actually seen it in practice.  It basically aggregates a lot of data and associates it with words and somehow shits out these boxes for you when you type in search terms.

Who fucking knows how it works.

so, we're not going to get existential?  Just going to stick with technology?  Okay.

I don't do existential. My alter ego does, but we havent spoken since I grounded one of the voices in my head for missing curfew.
