The Horrors of Data Mining

[Blue Lemma]

I thought this is a great example of why you can't believe a lot of things on the internet. I was "Googling" some terms/places from my own Lemma visual novel world, and I came across something interesting. I wanted to make sure again that there was no actual "Raigaku University" in existence (the university Miko from ToL and Yuki from ToL2 >_< attend) so I searched for it. I got a just a couple hits - one from my old ToL 2 webpage and a very interesting one:

Let's just say I'm not impressed with this company's information accuracy... And sadly, employers and others will pay them for info. Sad sad sad sad sad.

Well it's obviously automated and they do say it's not verified . I just contest the usefulness of such a "device" if it's to have non-accurate information. Can't people Google by themselves since that's all this website is doing? ^^;...

I hate to bump a semi-old, very-dead topic, but I don't think this deserves a new thread. While searching for a Traditional Wubizixing input method for Mac OS X, I came upon this. I know lots of sites provide content by using programs to copy Wikipedia articles, but this is just lame.
