It is the old issue about people moving together like a brainless mass. This gets annoying when even people who should be more "technical" goes the same way. See Opera/MyOpera folks.

Ok then you must decide what to do with this information. For example you can use "psychology" to find people's weak points and then manipulate them. Basically that is the meaning of "management" and "marketing" or "politics". But it can be done also with girls, for instance.

I am almost NEVER satisfied as customer. My usual explanation is companies are lead by sales and marketing departments so basically they don't even understand the concept of good quality product because in their universe it is all about manipulating customers in believing poop is chocolate. Which I think explains 99.9% of our world.

But see, another point is most people are like women, they like to be told lies.

Like I said, people (in general) like to be told lies. I guess this makes their lives easier. Independent thinking is demanding.

About women, I don't know but it seems they are complicated. In my experience while men are focused on basic tasks, women are always paying attention to details, usually about emotions, behaviors, relations with other people, etc, that from the male point of view are unimportant or often "imaginary". For males all those "details" are a problem when the goal is to go from point A to point B but it can also be lot of stuff you can use for manipulating. But on average it is too much work because there are few (temporary) reasons why you would need to manipulate.

You know in contemporary age genders are not well defined. Boys are encouraged to look (and often act) a bit feminine and vice-versa. Maybe not in the rural areas but for sure in the metropolitan areas. Plus I was a teen in the stone age. So I am not sure about twitter. Traditionally computers were a male thing, maybe because of the hardware, maybe because of the yes-no basic logic. Or simply maybe because computers came from the military. I don't know if it is still true. Maybe all the "rich user esperience" stuff is about the "feminization" of computers.

Nope, "rich" in the contemporary meaning does not mean more complicated, it means more entertaining in the American way. It is something like "pimp my computer" or "pimp my Internet".

BTW, I am reading this:
"I see sentiment analysis becoming a standard feature of search engines".

Maybe gay search engines

I am old school:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
(Asimov, around 1940)

What is "sentiment analysis"? Sounds like that horrible (gay?) android Data in Star Trek - The Next Generation. Basically a soap opera. There was also the emphatic counsellor Troy on the bridge. Worst Star Trek series ever.
