Google, CIA Invest in ‘Future’ of Web Monitoring

Pretty hec­tic!

The invest­ment arms of the CIA and Google are both back­ing a com­pany that mon­i­tors the web in real time and says it uses that infor­ma­tion to pre­dict the future.

The com­pany is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thou­sands of web­sites, blogs and Twit­ter accounts to find the rela­tion­ships between peo­ple, orga­ni­za­tions, actions and inci­dents both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the com­pany says its tem­po­ral ana­lyt­ics engine “goes beyond search” by “look­ing at the ‘invis­i­ble links’ between doc­u­ments that talk about the same, or related, enti­ties and events.”

The idea is to fig­ure out for each inci­dent who was involved, where it hap­pened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chat­ter, show­ing online “momen­tum” for any given event.

I was think­ing about school mas­sacres and ended up at YouTube, where I found this five part doc­u­men­tory about Columbine. Pretty hec­tic, espe­cially the 911 call. I also found one about Vir­ginia Tech, but there’s noth­ing really inter­est­ing about it. Just some loser kid who goes and kills a lot of peo­ple because he’s a dick. Watch the Columbine one though!

Part one.

Part two.

Part three.

Part four.

Part five.

The com­plete 911 call from the library.

Other.

Extra infor­ma­tion about the cafe­te­ria bombs.

This unlucky (or maybe that should be “lucky”) lady sur­vived both the Columbine and Vir­ginia Tech shoot­ings!

A sky­diver pulled off a breath­tak­ing stunt when he som­er­saulted in from the wing of one glider to another — 6,000 ft above the ground at 100 mph.

First he crawled from the cock­pit of one glider above the Aus­trian Alps, then he flipped him­self under the wing to land on the sec­ond air­craft fly­ing below.

“It was an aston­ish­ing feat and even with a para­chute it could have gone badly wrong if he’d slipped dur­ing the switch,” said one fan after view­ing the footage of the stunt on YouTube.

Steiner who was one of the Aus­trian “Red Bull Sky­dive” car­ried out the stunt above the moun­tains in Styria, Austria.
