...high-quality needles in the immense, spam-plagued haystack that is the contemporary Web. But it's not a particularly useful solution for finding out what people are saying right now, the in-the-moment conversation that industry pioneer John Battelle calls the "super fresh" Web.

Just as children progress through the various stages of pre-consciousness to full self-awareness in their toddlerhood, so too computers must slowly approach their sentience. Thus I propose an adjunct to the Turing Test, something that I will immodestly christen the "Greenleaf Test." If a computer can generate sentences that are indistinguishable from political campaign rhetoric, it has passed the Greenleaf test.
