Skepticality #084 - What's The Harm? - Interview: Tim Farley
Date: 08/27/2008 Misinformation is everywhere, but nowhere more prolific than on the internet. A Google search for "homeopathy" or "UFO" returns a landslide list of??mystery-mongering websites. Yes, there are a few skeptical web resources too ????but a non-skeptic can be easily misled online. On this episode,??Derek & Swoopy talk with Tim Farley, a??skeptic applying his 20-plus years of??software development experience to the creation of advanced tools and techniques for fighting the battle against misinformation on the World Wide??Web.?? Tim's popular websites include the Skeptical Software Tools blog??"Skeptools" (which uses Web 2.0 techniques to aid the spread of critical??thinking information online), and WhatsTheHarm.net, which has collected the??stories of over 225,000 people who have been injured or killed as a result??of supernatural and??pseudoscientific??practices from alternative medicine to hypnosis to faith healing.
