About Ackerman. I don't know much about his record, but I do know he is cocky, besides promising to "don a hula skirt and dance half-naked in Times Square" if GS did not hit $29 in Jan/Feb 09. news.goldseek.com Did it hit $29? And did he do the promised dance? Lots of rhetoric. With so many self-proclaimed blog geniuses clamoring for attention, hard to find that credible in this day. Shannon, Fisher and others have well-defined measures of "information" but these are narrow. To the best of my knowledge, no one has a good measure of information content --- the idea is vague --- when it comes to the kinds of things we read every day. People talk about the internet being a wonderful source of information. Given the complex biases and conflicts of self-interest, it is an even better source of misinformation. I suspect this probably has quite a bit to do with memetics.
