There’s been some sort of hype lately regarding the Web Bots and I’m really surprised there’s almost no information about it available. The Web Bot project was developed in the late 1990s mainly to predict the stock market ups and downs (Web bot and stock markets). How do they do it? It’s really simple in fact and it’s a very nice implementation of what search engines do. Web bots simply crawl the web the same way Google crawls it at regular intervals to catch new and existing web sites and detect relevant keywords. Web Bots do it just a little differently: While search engines are just “indexing” the Web and creating a Web directory, Web bots are looking for trends with the keyword relations they find. It search for keywords “standing out” in a web document but also take in consideration the content preceding and following the keyword. This data is then analyzed by a linguistic tool to determine the meaning if there’s any.
So does it work and are Web Bots reliable? well it’s kind of hit and miss. Sometimes you’ll see things predicted correctly and sometimes not. I think the project is a really good initiative and can lead to great things, but at the moment I’m more under the impression that they interpret the results in the same way we interpret Nostradamus Quatrains. What I mean is that what the Web Bots are getting out of the internet while crawling is not that clear and when an event happen a couple of days later, then we find a way to relate the data.
Being in the computer engineering domain, I think I can see where the Web Bots will succeed and where it will fail. There are fields I believe the Web Bots can predict stuff and there are field they can’t. What are these fields? Well, essentially, anything “man-made” could be predicted in some way and anything man has no control over can’t be predicted. This is for the plain and simple reason that the Web Bots crawl the Internet for data and the Internet is actually man-made. So, the only data that can be collected is data written by people/government/companies,etc. I don’t see how you can predict a natural disaster or anything like that by simply crawling the Web. The only thing you can get by crawling is facts or opinions, nothing else. The only way I can see predicting natural disasters or anything not man related is if the Web Bots actually crawls 3 000 blogs/websites written by specialists of a certain domain and that they are pointing towards a similar conclusion.
What about 2012 (Read my article on 2012) and the Web Bots? As I said, I’m not seeing how a computer can figure out what’s going to happen in 2012 simply by visiting websites published by real people. The more data Web Bots get pointing towards 2012 just means more and more people are publishing stuff about 2012 and the end of the world. Remember, the only thing they can crawl is the internet and what you find on the internet was created by real persons, not God. They will surely get a strong correlation between 2012 and the end of the world; there’s ton of websites talking about it.
So, can Web Bots predict stuff? Yes I believe it can and it’s a really nice piece of technology. I’m pretty sure preventing terrorists attacks can be done using Web Bots and also predicting anything involving human interaction. Remember, it crawls the web, written by humans so it can only predict what humans are able to predict: Just in a shorter time frame! I think it’s easy to fall into the “It can predict everything” stuff, so let’s say it’s a really nice technology which can help us predict things we wouldn’t normally see happening. There’s a lot of future in that field and it has to be pushed a lot more forward. A good project, with good potential, but be careful with what people say it predicted!

lol so theyre like a google that says stuff that we say so if i said like uhhhhhhhhhh…. my cousin got eaten by a goldfish and theyd predict a mass goldfish invasion ???? so the timewave zero is just screwed up guess from us making gay predictions with no scientific proof???
In 2012 your world will end like my world did as I sat in a dark room half my life writing blogs people can’t understand because of the lack of ventilation and health standards.
In 2012 I see no need to upgrade your home or property. Let’s all find a cave to crawl into because these web bots have already predicted the end of the world.
How will we call upon the mighty web bots information if in 2012 one month before the end of the world there is no power to run these computers. For thousands of years people have claimed the end of the world was near. You have seen pictures of them standing on street corners hold their signs. Please come join my “Drama Club” because my life is boring and I have no future so let me make your life uncomfortable because mine is.
Every day could be the end of the world one date is no better than the other. If you really believe this bunk you should take up tarot card reading and a crystal ball predicting when your next car payment or house payment is due.
I believe the end is coming and judgement time too, if you do not believe it oh well too bad, but when you are in that day don’t say you were not warned.
It’s weird how this article is about web bot and still with a little mention of 2012, end of the world prophecies becomes the main concern…
What the webbots are reading from is mankind’s subconscious. They use internet to pick up on stuff we already know somewhere in our “souls”. Like Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus, and whoever else, we all have the ability to “see the future” - it’s just that most of us are not consciously connected to what’s happening next like those guys were. Anyway, This is where the Webbots come in. They pinpoint what we ALL already know. When the program sees a spike in certain word/phrase usage, like it did a couple of months prior to 9-11, the webbots know that something huge is going to happen. The next time something big will happen, according to the Webbot creator, is during Oct 5th - 8th 2008. They say that it has to do with the stock market - Something seriously scary with money. Also they say starting right now food is going to be a huge issue (shortages, inability to afford it, etc). I generally don’t believe stuff like this, but this is too interesting and too easily proved to discount without further investigation.
I think 2012 webbot is real.The reason I think is the growing population on the planet!
There is not enough food for all at present what would be the situation after 5years?
This has nothing to do with web bots…
The subconscious thing may be right coz “every-thing is related” says the theory of relativity.
BUT
What the HELL !
We’re already there
has anyone heard about the Global Consciousness Project it is said that random number generators around the world generated unusual spikes in the outputted values hours before a major world event was about to happen. perhaps there is more to this global subconscious thing and it could be the tool that the web bot is using to make its predictions
Hi - just wanted to say good design and blog -
The world is not going to end in 2012 something is going to happen on 2012 but not the end of the world,Morons this days are reatarded.What I think the Mayans said is a new begining will happen in 2012.A new civilization will happen wich means our civilization is over,we might die and a new civilzation starts.Thats what I think I dont know im just thinking that,is not going to happen hope not,but something will happen in 2012 BUT NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
There’s more to it then what your saying here and the way they do this work, for one thing they take “billions” of words out the text
of normal conversation weekly that are “different” and many of them
try to hang out in web sites where they think there are “psychic”
people..from that they assemble the wordage of what is coming next. It is beleived that we create our own future by our thinking and of course the more the people agree on tme same thing, the
more it’s likely to manifest into reality. Now the Princeton project is a bit different as it goes on an basis of emotional responses,
where as “halfpast human” web site works off the wordage in web
sites only. The Princeton project is done by various people all
over the world sending in information. I’d say both of them have been more sucesssful then second guessing at what other preditors
of the past have written in quatrains. Naturally it is easier to
come to conlusive results after an event also. But I thought that
Geroge Ure did an pretty good job here recently on the “Wedding
as people run from an disaster”..bu they have to ananylze the
wordage and that’s the ahrd part, he thought maybe it was going
to be an disaster concerning around the Wedding of George Bush’s
daughter, what it turned out to be at nearly the same time, though different time zones, afterwards was this latest big “China Earthquake”. George admits that it is hard to decipher the information at times…so he tries to stick to the wordage even
it it doesn’t make sense to him at times. I think they are doign pretty good so far. As good an many reknown pyschics are doing
these days on the future trends of things.
A single prediction as general as “a big event” that “comes true” 8 years ago and this thing becomes the best prophesy machine the world has ever known. Crud, does anyone know how many times “a big event” was predicted by this thing and it did not come to pass, of course not because that wouldn’t be cool. Are the owners of this thing richer than god for owning it. It’s supposed to be for stock market prediction and that is one of the most human and emotional processes I can think of. There is one difference between human mammals and other creatures. We have the most developed rationality, the ability to build complex concepts from simple ones. We are just as capable of building the complex concepts on faulty definitions as we are on good ones. The one thing about the web is it gives equal voice to those who do both. Prove your definitions before building the concepts on top of them, or don’t and live in a fantasy world you think is totally real. Your call I guess.
Yes something major is going to happen in the year 2012. I believe that I myself am a prophet who can understand the future better than many people can. There are a couple major reasons I believe the new world is coming. I have not had t.v. for most of my life, which i believe has given me a fresher more natural view on life and the future. The first reason I have came up with is something evil is on the verge of power, this can very well be the anti christ. Something THIS YEAR is going to happen with money, and many people are going to look to a savior, but will find none untila few years later. As the statistics are saying that every year the ballots for legalizing marijuana increases, the point of legalizing is sometime in 2012. All throughout time peace has never lived free, for one reason- evil. From the begining of time there has always been a good and evil side, you can even see this in the plants and in human nature. Jesus was a very peaceful man, i think this is because of the use of marijuana. Well back then Jesus was persecuted- PEACE was persecuted. “Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing” were some of His last words on the cross. Marijuana is going to come save all the people from the dark tragedies of 2012 that are being set of by the anti christ, who now is setting up his power with the economy on his side. Marijuana just like Jesus was persecuted, but in the Bible is prophesizes that Jesus (first i want to make it clear there is a definately a connection with Jesus and marijuana- a good connection) is going to return and relieve the stress and evil from the world and He is going to make life on Earth easier with marijuana. The powerful leaders who are making our economy this bad are the ones who are getting richer and richer my friends, this man is going to be known as the anti christ. he will come strait out of the government and say he is here for peace, but inside he is just a deceiver- he is satan. people will look upon him as a good fellow and be deceived. he will still claim marijuana is a dirty thing. Once all of this has happened, there will be a new world- a clean almost garden of eden like place called Heaven in one of the livable planets in our solar system. These two leaders are Jesus (God) and Satan. I believe both are aliens. In ancient text any unidentified species that was seen was called an alien. The aliens of course are angels visiting and entering the people in the world for evil/good purposes. You either follow one or other. You stay on the fiery Earth of sin, where Satan will conquer, and burn for eternity with no breaks. Or you smoke the spiritual marijuana that God had made, the weed that was betrayed, unto a free spirit you shall move with the Lord Jesus Christ and onto the new planet of Heaven.
Wow that was great Alex, very entertaining!
alex you a crasy jeasus did not smoke weed it is not in the bible lol.i thick the web bot are really stupid becase if you think about did jeasus or the mayans use a computer 3000 bc lol. the webots just get information from us and put in a scentance lol. yes i do belive that someting is going to happen in 2012.but not the end of the world. but you never know matter what you pordect or think you never know till it happens
Holy Mother of God!
Can this be true????
The end of the world is coming in 2012? Mass extinction of humanity? Death by Man Eating Golfish???
I say we be proactive right now. 9mm, you grab all the weed (yes, you can have some), Ben, get to the nearest carnival, find the ping pong ball game where you can win a gold fish. Dump the little bastards NOT DOWN THE DRAIN (they can still come back to get us) but instead, dump them on the ground. Exterminate them for the sake of the future!!!
Alex, please. There is this dug called Abilify. It can help you. Really. Jose, don’t believe what the Mayans tell us. Uh, like their not here any more. If I recall, that ended badly.
Trish, Trish, Trish…Edgar Cayce was a nutjob. But I do have to agree, we all can predict the future. In exactly 10 minutes (the future), (I predict) I will be eating a fish sandwich. A Goldfish sandwich…Just doing my part to save humanity.
Next, maybe we can debunk this whole global warming crap. The web bots will let us know.
After studying what they call Web Bot for a few days I’m still not convinced. Very little information about it is available on the web. I believe it is possible that such a program can guide words in a matter that predicts events. I’m partial to the fact that it predicted 9/11. The next even will supposedly happen in October 08 around the 5th and 8th, and it is said it will be an economical crash that will lead to scarceness of food and other resources. That make sense to me, as I know at some point soon something like this is bound to happen. I have written that date on my calendar, and you should do so too if the question in the header of this page is concerning you. Can web bot predict the future ? Well I believe we just have to wait for the future in order to know that.
world coo coo’s for $500.00 please Alex
Weather it has to do with myans, aztecs, bible, eager, nost., or the web bot usualy if you look hard enough for somthing you will find it. However the web bot does do a unique thing. First from what I understand it looks for a varitey of different things, problem with that is the pre-determind things it looks for which would in the end give a predication that one is looking for but on the other hand if it was designed well enough to analyze the unconscience or emotional state all at once that would give a predication in one way or another. An example would be if to teams are engaged in some battle and the web bot could montier how they feel so to speak, as we all know usually winning a battle is more based on the mind set and the will then anything if each team is evenly matched, but on a global sense to analyze the mind set well what that could predict is more in my opion what we make happen.
A stock market crash in October!!! Please, no no no!! That’s too early! It has to at least happen next year. Then we can all blame it on Obama since he will be president.
“A stock market crash in October!!! Please, no no no!! That’s too early! It has to at least happen next year. Then we can all blame it on Obama since he will be president.”
Well, it’s much easier to blame it on Bush just now.
I too believe that predictions can be made by anyone who is in tuned
with what could possibly happen however it could be a hit or miss.
Just last night I thought i was going to wake up and have a slice
of chocolate cake for breakfast but instead I ate Lucky Charms.
Something controlled by my own free will. The athmosphere and environment in the heavens, in the air and under the sea can’t be controlled by man but the future events that will happen can be
picked up on by our spiritual gifts given by God if we are willing to accept those gifts and not be skeptic.
Unfortunately some people use those gifts to scare others and do evil.
I have had a few dreams that actually came true the following days ahead and I’m willing to bet many of others have had dreams that came true too.
I do believe something major is going to happen that will affect all the world… I can’t pin point that event or tell exactly if it is a natural disaster or a nuclear war… it could possibly be something very divine or evil. Will it happen in 2012? could be… Could it happen today? could be… Or could it happen in 100 years? could be. Only God the Father knows when this planet will cease to exist.
I believe something will happen on 2012 it might not be the end ofthe world, but think about this if you will. when your doing something and it gets out of hand you go back to the basics. and start over and try again. well we are all trying to live this way, doesnt seem to be helping out planet any, so back to the basics and lets start over because were not doing something right.
My son mentioned the Web Bot to me this morning so I thought I would check it out! I wanted to download the you-tube media but it said it was no longer available. Seem’s fishy to me, maybe even gold fishy! Here we are trying to figure out 2012 when we can even figure out tomorrow. I think we all need to lighten up and just wake up, go to work, come home, fix supper, watch some bube tube, go to bed and see what tomorrow has to offer. Who knows, 2012 will probably be the the first time an independent will be elected president.
If you folks would like to know if the web bot project has any merit at all, just wait for 31 more days. It has predicted a major financial meltdown during the 1st week of October.
If nothing happens then its all hooey!
Enjoy it.

i really do hope nothing happens
January 2008
*January “secrets Revealed” something comes out
that is ‘unauditable’ and we see some of the
presidential wannbe’s pull out of the race over
disclosures of their links to what in model space
is the finance/powers-that-be.
*USA-Pop begins a shift out of paper assets into
defensive positions to protect their retirements
which will be coming into question. Perhaps due
in part to the continuing CMO/CDO paper
collapse and how much has gone into pension
funds.
this is what the web bot predicted for this year
now does anyone recall something like this happening back at those days?
and, yes i love to comment in this blog
ok, this is starting to freak me out
This reminds me of the year 2000 scare - people were buying generators, stocking up on food, expecting doomsday - and here we are 8 years later. I’m thinking this talk of 2012 being the end of the world is pure superstition - just like the Y2K scare.
I agree with you but I do believe it is possible that the web bot can gather ‘human’ thoughts and trends. Since something like the stock market is driven by humans, being able to predict a market meltdown is closer to believable.
Predicting the end of the world. Don’t think so. Predicting that people ‘think’ 2012 is the end of the world, sure.
the way things are shaping right now, as of september 24th, i’m really taking this web bot predicting thing seriously. i’m looking at some of the posts back months and months ago, how an economic meltdown will occur, and the value of the dollar going to be worthless, is all paning out to be true. all i can say is, stock up on food and water.
I’m am so sick of this doomday lie and hoax. Its not true, I hate it and the people that are stupid enough to believe it.
