Virtual terraforming redirects here. I can find no reliable sources describing this concept. There has been some discussion. This topic looks like a lost child. -- Kvng ( talk) 15:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
//disputed-section|date=June 2011// There are also attempts by networks of individuals to deliberately manipulate internet topology, which could be referred to as virtual terraforming. Cases and possibilities include a distributed denial-of-service attack (DdoS), in which virtual smart mobs flood a site with hits/links, or correspondingly, cease all traffic/remove all links to a site; the strategic use of linkback and reverse-linking to change the connectedness and therefore searchability of sites; and incorporating the long tail into search engines, e.g. with an option to search for poorly linked sites. Internet topology may change dramatically as internet architecture moves from a conception of links that is binary (yes/no link) or spectral (strength of link) to one that is typological (type of link). For example, as Facebook moves from a binary conception of relationship (yes/no friend) to a typological one (type of relationship) with its “How do you know [insert name]?” feature, the topology of its social network will change; specifically, its social network will become social graphs. If something similar were applied to links between sites on the internet, it would drastically terraform what [[]] identifies as the 4 continents of internet
Since the tag was inserted in 2012, it would be great if even one reference can be added to the body of this article regarding a notable topic. Regards,-- Soulparadox ( talk) 09:11, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
I have removed long uncited and dubious content that did not support the (cited) lead. The effect is to essentially WP:STUBIFY the article. ~ Kvng ( talk) 17:34, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
