I receive notice that the big website search service is going to give priority ranking to websites that change frequently. Interesting insight into the trend towards disposable knowledge.
I have been working for more than four years on a research project that I will not be ready to publish for quite a while - perhaps a year, maybe longer. So, the website that I use to list my publications has been fairly static for a while now. I am not ready to publish. I think I have some data. I think I have an interpretation. But I am not ready. I guess that means that website is going to receive a lower rating.
Is the only knowledge that has value information that has a half-life of one day? I do not think so.
