What is the Web Bot?
The Web Bot appears to be a computer program that has been written to search the web for keywords that are then used to predict future events. It was first launched in 1997 to predict Stock market trends.While the creators Clif High and George Ure keep much of the technical information about Web Bot secret, it appears to be an extrapolative algorithm that searches the web for changes in language that may precede changes in behavior.While several predictions of the Web Bot seem to have come true, this could be more an example of Postdiction due to the vague language used in the alleged predictions.
