If blogs are the long tail of knowledge, what are the comments that most blog posts have? Are the comments the long tail of the long tail of knowledge? Think about it…
I read a this post on Niall Kennedy’s blog about the new features in the Google Toolbar which includes the ability to store and tag label bookmarks that can also later be retrieved when logging into a different machine. While the concept is nice (and is similar in a number of ways to the del.icio.us [...]
I’ve recently read this article on BusinessWeek about how Google changed the landscape for VCs and innovation. To sum things up, the article states that instead of encouraging innovation, VCs are looking for companies that can fill in some gap in Google’s portfolio (at least the portfolio they think Google is seeking for, since they [...]
I’ve recently experimented with Amazon’s E-Commerce Service. In general, it’s a very complete API giving you access to almost every piece of information including titles, images, prices (and historical prices) that Amazon stores. There were two things that were a bit problematic, in my opinion, which I think should be addressed. The first thing is [...]

Now I find this act to be criminal. All the recent worm writers that were caught and legal action was taken against them. This virus is [...]
I’ve just stumbled upon this, which seems to contain some very interesting speculations as to Google’s future plans. They all strengthen my point about in my previous post that Gmail IDs are a Passport like system for authentication and they will be used throughout current and future services. They are already being used in most [...]
It seems that there are more than a few people (well, at least 2) that have some other thoughts about Google. I must admit that at first I was also inside the Google Talk frenzy, submersed in all the hype, but after reading Nuggest’s post and Drunken Batman’s post I started to ponder a bit [...]
I just found out about the new name of the previously Windows code named “Longhorn”. Guess what, it called Windows Vista. Now I wonder who is the smart-ass marketing guy that thought about that? What is this? half resurrecting dead Digital Corp. companies? The year branding (95,98,2000,2003) I could live with, the XP signature was [...]
