What do a sugar-hungry bird and a search engine algorithm have in common? More than you’d think. In this episode of the StoneFly Deep Dive, we explore two radically different “Hummingbirds”—one flitting through gardens, the other reshaping how we search the internet.
You’ll learn:
- Why native plants are the gold standard for supporting hummingbirds
- The surprising risks of poorly maintained feeders (including deadly infections)
- How Google’s Hummingbird algorithm revolutionized search by understanding meaning, not just keywords
- The environmental and digital parallels between precision, care, and unintended consequences
From ecosystem health to online visibility, this episode unpacks the surprising ways two hummingbirds reveal the complexity behind speed, precision, and care in both natural and digital worlds.
