Finally, what do y'all use for Googling for PD-related stuff? Googling for "pure::data" doesn't always work (are the colons special characters in Google?), "pd" sometimes works, the words "pure data" are too common, and "pure.data" seems best so far. I guess I'm looking for a statistically-improbable phrase to filter for search results specific to PD.
Good question and perhaps controversial - I thought about this when first publishing Pd things and eventualy decided "Puredata" is the best. If case senstitive then capitalised P. Special characters like :: tend to get handled weirdly by search engines. A two word phrase "pure data" throws up too many instances where people are talking about "only data" or "clean/unpolluted data". Interestingly if you combine "procedural audio" and PD you get lots of stuff on how to conduct police department interviews with suspects.
