 Beta software tends to frighten Big Business. They’re skeptical of the phrase “almost done”, and for good reason. They demand a finished product. There are very few exceptions to this.
Take the recent news from Google as an example. A few days ago, the company finall...Jul. 13, 2009 06:00 PM EDT Reads: 954 |
 Apparently (apparently!), I have said something that hit a nerve. When I posted my thoughts on the whole issues as to whether or not the VC model was broken, I had no idea that it would be the most popular post I have ever written (and it’s not even noon on day 2). Crazy.

 Even my 90 year old Grand Mother is aware that Microsoft have dominated software products. But where have they been in search? Microsoft Live Search handled about 9 or 10% of searches but that pales in comparison to Google's 60% and Yahoo! at over 20% of searches. But perhaps now, fina...Jul. 5, 2009 07:30 PM EDT Reads: 2,178 |
 I would not have written this blog in the year 2000 and by now I am highly opinionated towards Google, of course in a good way. During my graduation years (1996-2000), I used Rediff and Yahoo! search for my college projects, and ACM seminars. In the year 1996/1998, Google was known but...Jun. 30, 2009 05:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,514 |
 For the past 8 years I've been a great fan, user and evangelist of wikis. Wave picks up the original idea from old-time Smalltalker Ward Cunningham and moves it 25 years into the present. Wave is what Ozzie's Groove always wanted to be, but Ozzie missed the Internet, so it found a good...Jun. 17, 2009 06:15 AM EDT Reads: 2,008 |
 Although I think email is a good and measurable way to accomplish direct marketing, I also think we need better tools to filter the types of organizations sending email. Sometimes the best defense is to keep changing your email address similar to a witness protection program. Congratul...Jun. 16, 2009 04:15 PM EDT Reads: 810 |
 Twitter is the dumbest thing I have ever seen, I can't believe my eyes. What is wrong with you people? Did you lose your minds? Get a job, do something, leave this stupidity alone. Now, I have to rescue my cell phone (blackberry) from the direct text messages and advertising spam, infe...Jun. 10, 2009 04:00 PM EDT Reads: 5,226 Replies: 1 |
 A strange dynamic has taken hold on the internet. Just as people expect sunshine and air to be free, they also expect internet based software applications to be free. Ok, maybe not completely free… they agree someone should pay, just not them. Damn you Google, damn you Yahoo! ...Jun. 5, 2009 08:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,927 |
 2009 has proved to be very exciting when it comes to new features and enhancements.

 Although Google Wave is not open for public yet but after a preview at the features just introduced by Google I think Google Wave is much better, interactive, fun and less-hectic than some of today's top social media tools.May. 30, 2009 03:45 PM EDT Reads: 3,419 |
 There seems to be a Google Toolbar Pagerank update underway. Instead of the normal announcement, I thought I’d list what I think Google PR is actually good for because for most, it’s totally useless information. Oh, and of course, how to increase your PR if you won’t be persuaded other...May. 28, 2009 10:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,150 |
 "Mass psychology" scientists study this kind of phenomena and the "mass psychology of fascism" is of course the most famous lab case.

 No other major SaaS company in the world could get away with this approach to paying customers. Not only Google offers no user-friendly tools to add shared contact to the paid version of Google Apps. They offer no tools. Period.

 Search Engines, especially Google, are emphasizing too much on showing local search results to searchers. They are of the view that localized search is supposed to be more relevant to searchers. But in this article I would like to share my view on this approach of Search Engines. What ...Feb. 26, 2009 09:30 AM EST Reads: 906 |
Yahoo! founders Jerry Yang and David Filo received stupid advice from their investment bank advisers and blew their chance to close the deal with Microsoft as of this Sunday morning. Neither Yang nor Filo are experts on how to sell a company in a multi-billion dollar deal. They have re... Jun. 4, 2008 05:15 PM EDT Reads: 10,019 Replies: 1 |
'Search engines don't run JavaScript. Oh no, not ever, no way José.' So once you have AJAXified your Web site, huge areas of it are now hidden to search engines, never to be spidered, indexed, or found. AJAX, in short, has its limitations. Nov. 29, 2006 06:00 AM EST Reads: 8,232 Replies: 6 |
