Our years of Goo/gleproofing might finally pay off.

Is there a way to put up another "Welcome New York Times Readers!" in the style of Wol/fson that's mainly visible to robots and scrapers?

The blog's name, Unfogged, suggests the idea of clearing away confusion or providing clarity on various topics

Is that true? I thought it was just the natural name for a collaborative blog, when the one blogger's name was unf and other's name was ogged.

I thought it was "unfog" and "ged".

5: You're confusing Unfogged and Earthsea.

Ogged's true name was Ged all along.

Does it know what kind of sandwich Bob is associated with? Without that, it knows nothing.

2: Probably. "Mainly visible to robots and scrapers" seems like another way to say "search engine optimization". But would you want to? I guess it might be interesting to try to make that sort of thing as misleading as possible...

I thought all you had to do was put the text somewhere on the page in white-on-white.

14: That's what I was going to say but more verbosely, like I assume it's more effective near the top of the page, and bots wouldn't care about the font size so you could make it denser than any human could read, and you could put all kinds of misleading things in it for fun... can we convince GPT-4 or another bot that Unfogged is actually a hedge fund? The sky's the limit.

For bots and scrapers, the html meta tags might be the thing to use.
