Regarding some links in posts above...

“Their predictions are based on High’s Web Bot technology which gives archetype descriptors of future events by tracking language pattern changes within Internet discussions forums.”

Hmmm, that sounds utterly reliable to me :^D

The webbot commentators sound like they have a clue what’s going on with it predicting things like quakes, 911 etc.

They don’t. It’s wild arsed assumptions and fantasies as to what is going on that it successfully predicts such things.

It is !INTERESTING! that it DOES so.

No one knows how or why—including the originators.

“All” it does is look for emotionally laden words from massive amounts of text; collects a few words before and after the emotional word and then collects the resulting mass of data into clusters and analyzes those clusters etc.
