The PigeonRank from Google
July 29th 2008
I decided to post about Google Technology around the 1st of April of 2002 (more than 6 years ago!) As explained in the official page it was a revolucionary method of indexing. By collecting flocks of pigeons in dense clusters, Google was able to process search queries at speeds superior to traditional search engines, which typically rely on birds of prey, brooding hens or slow-moving waterfowl to do their relevance rankings.
It is important to say that the technology back them was already very good but PigeonRank’s success relied primarily on the superior train-ability of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia) and its unique capacity to recognize objects regardless of spatial orientation. The common gray pigeon can easily distinguish among items displaying only the minutest differences, an ability that enables it to select relevant web sites from among thousands of similar pages.
You can read all about it in the page I mentioned before because PigeonRank helped the internet to be what it is today!
