Precision--not so much
This is an intriguing tool being developed at MIT that uses keywords from web page descriptions to map your name. It also includes descriptions of people who share your name and creates sort of an uber-persona type based on the compsite descriptions. Watching it as it worked, it took a word like “elected” and ascribed the category “politics”. In this case, the description was based on being elected to an executive board on a nonprofit organization which I guess some would characterize as political and others as business. It’s still something of a blunt tool since it cannot take into account context sensitivity too well.
It will be interesting to see where this develops from here.
