    Default What is PigeonRank???

    I was trying to make some sense out of this read http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html and they lost me just on this paragraph

    Building upon the breakthrough work of B. F. Skinner, Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based algorithms. And while Google has dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of our service on a daily basis, PigeonRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools.
    Can someone in plain english summarize this?

    Are you for real, they just rolled me, I thought it was some abstract way of discribing some sophisticated system

    I think the giveaway if you are particularly gullible is the fact it says this at the bottom of the page:

    Have a look here for more of the same:
