Timewave takes 'a crap' as you say on October 26th.

1 The web bot is based on a known scientific principle, that people actually do have a predictive ability which comes out in short spans of time prior to events. The project has tried to find a longer term version of this in the interpretation of shifts in language.
2. The project does not simply index web sites and forums to see what people are talking about. People can talk about possible end of the world scenarios on forums all day long - if that subject will come through in the data is not guaranteed since it's not a direct translation of conversation to predictive data. There is a great deal more complexity than that.
3. The involved parties have never claimed to be 100 percent accurate, only that they've been accurate enough for the project to be worth continuing. Over time the accuracy should improve as they learn to interpret the data better. That's the key to this - the data which comes from the bot has to be analyzed and interpreted by a person which is where mistakes can be introduced. What compels these guys forward is that reviews of the data after the fact have shown them that different / better analysis and interpretation would have resulted in even more accurate predictions.
I wouldn't take it as an absolute but it is an interesting project and should not be lumped in with all the other predictions we see here on ATS.
There's some solid technology and science behind this one. Look at it as something interesting and if you don't want to pay for the results then don't. Eventually I hope the raw data and some analysis tools will be made available to the public in order to refine the project even more.

How can anyone possibly still believe this junk? Didn't the webbots already predict a series of events that never, not even remotely similar, took place? I recall hearing about mass deaths, people wishing to be dead because this event was so horrific, etc...back sometime last year! It NEVER HAPPENED.
Why are fools still allowing their selves to duped?!

because accept ignorance is the slogan of this website ...^^
everybody knows that webot is based on information on the web ... since everyone is talking about war, crime, sex, drugs and rock and roll, every prediction will be about it ... since rock and roll predictions arent wanted, we have war predictions ...

I can understand people being skeptical, ...
The web bot is not a search engine / word count index machine like Google and other such software. The technology its based on is known and can be researched, the coding alone is extremely complex and the number of skilled developers versed in it very rare.
[...]
I hope they're wrong about this latest alert of an event on the 25th but even if they are I know that based on the project's history we'll be able to see where the interpretation failed even if the data sweep itself did not. Unfortunately that's where the technology is still immature. If they do manage to find ways to refine / improve the analysis the project will become one scary tool and will probably vanish from the public ...

And it has made a few other unlikely predictions that came eerily true.
But it has also made some errors.
I suppose a cynic could say that a crystal ball that was 90+% accurate was utterly useless, because it could never be totally relied upon.
Toronto-Dominion Bank, Canada’s second-biggest bank by assets, said technical glitches delayed the processing of bank transactions at some U.S. branches today.

And what would a cynic say about a software program that gives you about 25-% accuracy??
