Web bots scan man-made information
This is the most important concept of web bots because it sets the limits to what the web bots are able to predict. This also explains why it’s impossible to predict any end of the world prophecy. Why is that? The main goal of a web bot is simply to crawl the web the same way Google would do it to extract important information from websites. That important information is usually the most relevant keywords on a website put with a certain algorithm that is able to get the meaning of the sentences the keywords are used in. This information is then put in a large database and the final goal is to compare similar topics to determine if they each point towards similar conclusions.

So, if we put all the pieces together: The web contains information written by humans, the web bots crawl that information, find correlations and make predictions. If the web bots take its information from man-made sources, then what can it predict? Only things humans can predict or have control over. Does that includes the end of the world? No. There’s nothing super-natural in web bots. It’s computer technology at its best: Gather, keep and interpret information the human brain can’t.

Sure someone can argue they sometimes predict the stocks market, but I know people who are damn good at this too. They can try to predict a whole lot of stuff, but it cannot go any further than what we can predict.

We have to be careful here, because web bots do have a power we don’t have: to merge all that information across the web and try to find a correlation. So, they can go a little further than what a single human can do, but they can’t go any further than what’s possible to predict by humans.

If it was really possible to predict incredible stuff, Google would have the answer to every question. Wait a minute…They do! Seriously, it’s possible to extract relevant information from the web but it has a limit. Google use the data it collect to do a lot of other stuff than giving you search results, but they wouldn’t be able to predict things humans don’t have control over if they tried. That’s the same thing for web bots, except it’s much more smaller than Google.

Put everything in perspective
Web bot is a really nice project but I think it’s going to be one more argument for doomsday prophets in the future. It already started with videos about the end of the world and web bots predicting it would happen in 2012. There are certain things we don’t have control over and we have to accept it. There are certain parts of our lives we don’t control and we have to accept it. Computers are useful but they’re not God. I think the web bot project has a nice future but always keep in mind the web is man made and the bots crawl the web: there’s a limit to their capacities, it’s no magic.

Some examples
What’s best than a couple of concrete examples?

Could the web bots predict:

Natural disaster: There’s not much chances, unless it’s a natural disaster we can predict. We sometimes know in advance of a tornado and are able to predict the disaster. In that case, a web bot could do the same by gathering information from websites talking about a possible disaster on a certain date.
End of the world: Unless it’s a very obvious situation or caused by humans’ actions, no.
Terrorist attacks: Yes. at least it can help.
Stocks markets: Yes it can help.
You get the idea.

The Web Bots foresee that the Winter in the Northeast will be very cold this Winter, causing some schools to close, and then later to reopen as shelters for people who can't heat their homes. Language suggests that the shortage will either be caused by supply, cost of fuel, or both.]"

Anyone who needs support after the overnight ice storm is asked to dial 2-1-1.

Here is a list of emergency shelters for storm victims:

Amesbury - Amesbury Middle School

North Andover - N. Andover High School

Portsmouth - Portsmouth High School

Worcester - Warming center open until 7P at the Worcester Senior Center at 128 Providence St. Opening 2 overnight shelters opening at 7P - Doherty Memorial H.S., Burncoat High School

SOO... you get the puzzle pieces which emerge from the concepts (i.e. archetypes, such as earthquake) that are emotionally evolving (i.e., humans are leaking subconscious emotional reactions to future events)

I know what you mean, also, I find it interesting that someone had posted 3 different shakings in Iowa 2 or 3 days ago, but that did not come up on USGS site. Besides - 2 nights ago (11th) I could have sworn that there was a small trembling where I am at 2am. I woke up - and my bed was moving a slight bit, about 15 mins later - there was (I thought) another very slight tremble. Yesterday morning - I did not see any quake showing on the USGS map. I read others are stating, it seems not all quakes are being put on.

From my understanding - the USGS does not put "quakes" on the map if they are caused my magma.

Right now there are 1.2 million without electricity in the Northeast.
