Hello World Who is General Failure and why is he reading my drive?

Context is a bigger concept in IT than people realise, and I’m not just talking about programmming. It occured to me just now actually. While writing a report I realised that what is defined as “spam” and “junk” on the internet is just a matter of concept.

I propose a question: Is “spam” spam if you’re actually interested in enlargement / cheap sources of viagra?

You could, theoretically, design a “context engine”

Input: Users context, target material
Output: Valid material (whether it be spam or search results or an ad-free webpage).

It’s the permise intelligent spam filters and Google Adsense works on - so its technically implementable. The real question is: What defines a persons context?

• Occupation
• Relationships (Friends, Family and Groups)
• Interests and Dislikes
• Background
• Experiences
• Situation (Location, Employment, Status)

Build this kind of profile is “scary” to a lot of people. But implemented safely and correctly can be a useful tool - especially when creating content that is customised to the user.

I’ve been thinking of business ideas that will allow me to work from home or at the very least provide me with an alternate source of revenue.

Google Ad’s are great but you need content to drive people to your site. More so, this content has to be fresh and constantly changing. This is a problem, I dont, at this stage, want to invest any more time into anything else. I’d like to develop something and watch it (for the most part) grow by itself.

Every now and then you see something on the internet that you’re not really sure you want to look at.
