Thoughts on the intersection of search, media, technology, and more.
(image) I don’t have Siri yet ? I?m still using my ?old? iPhone 4. But I do have my hands on a new (unboxed) Nexus, which has Google Voice Actions on it, and I?m sure at some point I?ll get a iPhone 4GS. So this post isn?t written from experience as much as it?s pure [...]
Yahoo has always been proud of the algorithms that drive its choice of personalized content, but it?s hard to grok exactly what they do behind the scenes to make the magic happen. Today the company released a visualization of its “C.O.R.E.? (Content Optimization and Relevance Engine) technology, and the result is pretty cool. From a release [...]
Who remembers the moment, back in 1995, when Bill Gates wrote his famous Internet Tidal Wave Memo? In it he rallied his entire organization to the cause of the Internet, calling the new platform an existential threat/opportunity for Microsoft?s entire business.

For posterity, if nothing else, here’s what my desk looks like at the moment.

And [...]

Not since Google?s 2004 filing have so many journalists sped-read one document at the same time, eager to glean any possible insight unique to their particular point of view or publication and rush to post it before anyone else. Yes, I?m one of those journalists, I suppose, but I know I have to read this [...]
After pushing my way through a number of difficult but important reads, it was a pleasure to rip through Steven Johnson’s Where Good Ideas Come From: A Natural History of Innovation.
