Dear Christie,

Thanks for your great post! Just to tell you that I consider myself to be a Human Google, and I’m developing a personal branding project related to that idea.

The goal is to be perceived by potential customers as the human editor that filter search results PLUS the benefit that a Human Google can also browse physical documentation (printed material: books, journals, etc.) and people (interviews, direct questions, etc.)

Once the client gets that perception, I want to offer them my services as a explorer of information (+knowledge) and my ability to translate that info into commercial products.

If you speak Spanish, you can check out the website + blog where I would work and sell this idea (I live in Spain, but I’ve got an American University Education).

Yeah… i don’t know either. What’s the point?
Their staff is going to be bogged down with jerks like me telling them to “post my site – post my site!” ..

The site has gone live and so far I’m…not sure. Their “humans” have sorted through anticipated popular searches but anything else gets you nothing more than the standard google results. I’m sure over time this will be improved but I’m not confident that the humans can keep up.

Congrats on the Wired shout-out, Miss Christie!!
