Evolution, Opportunities, and Threats
12
Without text mining, the web is useless!
• No way to find stuff without search engines – which all rely on text mining • And all publishers realize this
• Search à Analysis • A necessary evolution as
the web grows • Creating new value
• Aggregation, analysis
• Enabling media criticism
13
Drivers / Opportunities • Moore’s Law!
• Advances in linguistics, algorithms, math
• Exponential growth of
content
• The volume of information on the web is making traditional search worthless
14
Threats
• Appification / closed vertical silos
• Deep Web (& darkweb)
• IP protectionism / legislation 15
Restricting the right to analyze is absurd
• What is the borderline between reading and analyzing?
• Impossible to differentiate humans from ‘robots’
• Robots must have the same rights as human readers

Turing would have laughed!
