You’ve seen 50 cups’ swoosh logo collection, here are spirals from splorp: “What is with the current profusion of swirly-whirly logotypes of late? Are they derived from the constant spin control that internet speed companies have to put on their multiple calculations? Or is it symbolizing the way technology drains away our time from family and the more important things in life?”

“Hippias is a peer-reviewed search engine that provides access to philosophy-related resources on the World-Wide Web. Quality is controlled by a system of hyperlinked internet sites which are managed by qualified professionals who serve as the associate editors of the project. The same procedures that govern quality also serve to limit the scope of Hippias to resources of interest to philosophers.”

“Yahoo!, Infoseek, AltaVista, HotBot, GoTo.com. If you’ve ever done research on the Internet, chances are you’ve used a search engine. The process is easy and often quite satisfying: Just type in one or more keywords, hit return, and then watch as a slew of hyperlinked results scrolls down the screen. It’s like having your very own card catalog wired into your computer. Or is it? As the lucrative Internet search business evolves, the information you seek may be tainted by the almighty buck.”
