Personas

Post by Philosogamer »

http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb.html

It's a web gathering website designed to build your usage of the internet based on your name, but just put in your username (unless it has numbers of course, then it doesn't work) and it will do the same.
(My name only had two results, and I'll just post one as an example)

Code: Select all

Searched up my older name, "SakuraMaxX"

"SAKURAMAXX IS A PORTMANTEAU OF THE BEATMANIA IIDX SONG "SAKURA" AND DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION SONG "MAXX UNLIMITED"

Hehe, that's pretty correct. Old name back from my old arcade days. Haven't met more than 10 people who understood the username on first guess.

Azure Edge will bring up a whole bunch of Tales of Vesperia things since it's the main character's primary attack skill.

Sadly I searched both my username and real name, and came up with nothing on either.

I'm more of a player than a forum user, so you'll see me in-game far more than on here.

Hmm, 100% of the results are because a guy called like me (Maestro Fénix) wrote a book that explains how to control your mind. This guy is famous because the book is a deception, a trick to take the money of the people (i always think that my nick was original, but later i found that not).

frak.

XESUM : WAS THE BETA MULTIPLAYER? I'LL BE SMEARING THOSE *TELLYTUBBIES ALL OVER THE HINDU KUSH IN SINGLEPLAYER

BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHETHER XESUM IS BEING SERIOUS OR NOT, SO IGNORING HIM IS THE SAFE BET

When you search my name you get info about a database and data mining lab. Also hosting sites. Also I'm internet and a nasdaq partnership company.

I think I know how this works. It basically uses google and gets the meta tags and <body> content and processes them.
Because with my real name in google there is only one related hit and that hit got posted in that little thingy.

Mine came up with something about being on "Yotatech forums" (which I'm pretty sure I'm not part of) and "cry me a river."
I usually run from rockets.
Pretty straightforward.
