A Day in Paradise

I blogged about Shawn Andersen and the Roxy’s Pub discrimination case half an hour ago while on my way to work. 20 minutes later I go to add some hyperlinks to the post (the main problem with mobile blogging) and I decide google for shawn andersen roxys and find that my post is on the […]

I opened my google docs this morning (like I open it up every morning) and noticed that we now have the ability to create web based presentations from within google docs.

Not only did I find the interface fairly intuitive (after a 3 minute clicking session), but it comes with the functionality to actually present your […]

… of getting bought up by google?
If 100% of your revenue is through google adsense, and google is making 100% (or more) on your 100%, then wouldn’t your worth to google be cut by 50%?
This is disregarding my “community in a box” article.

Don Dodge coined Web2.0 as “Web App + 2 Founders + 0 Revenue”. Funny, and not too far off the money.
Don goes into detail about the various ways that Web2.0 firms are funding their efforts. This goes from Freemium (free basic membership with paid premium package) to Subscriptions to simple Advertising.
One thing that he doesn’t […]

Posted by mobile phone:I am watching cnbc while on the excersize bike while blogging (multitasking++). They had a very.short piece about how yahoo customer satisfaction has grown 3 percent to pass google who has dropped 3 percent.
When I look at the two platforms, I have very little loyalty to google products.
Google search: I […]

I haven’t heard anything but pain from users of 8100s and 8800s. One of the guys I work with had to send his back 3 times before he got one that worked. The other guy is on his 2nd phone.
Stella has the 8100 ‘Pearl’ and I just got off of an 1 hour and […]

Yesterday I read the an article on Network Neutrality on CNN.com. The article was written by Craig Newmark of Craigslist and was VERY wrong.
Here’s part of what bothered me:
Here’s a real world example that shows how this would work. Let’s say you call Joe’s Pizza and the first thing you hear is a message saying […]

During my early morning browsing session I noticed the truth behind FF2’s choice in abbreviating the title from Jeremy’s latest blog entry “Google as our Culture“.

My name is Aaron Wormus, and I’ve been a card-carrying member of the Google Cult for 3 years. I grovel when my ranks are dumped, and squeal with joy when […]

In the footsteps of a couple good friends I’ve decided to make the first blog entry of the new year yet another year in review round-up for the year 2006.
It’s hard to believe that we’re already done with 2006, this one went by fast. A lot happened, and due to the overflow of work, I […]

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ve stopped using Backpackit completely. It was cool at first but then when we get past a certain number of articles, the system breaks down.
Plus google has spell checking, tagging, and a ton of other goodness. The only thing that I have to get used to […]

This is an extension to my latest comment on this blog entry.
If you search for just about any term in google, you will find that if a wikipedia entry exists it will be ranked among the top few entries.
This exposes a flaw in the concept of Google search algorithms, as despite the quality of […]

I’ve been waiting to reveal my conspiracy theory about the Google acquisition of YouTube, but then I saw this post about Sun’s Project Blackbox, and decided it was time to let the cat out of the bag.
Project Blackbox, is a mobile datacenter from Sun. About this time last year Cringley reported that Google was working […]

I’ve finally gotten around to testing this new google docs and spreadsheet thing they have. It’s pretty nice. Like with all things google I’m impressed with the speed and simplicity of the interface.
It looks like I’ll be dumping backpackit soon
Now I need to see how I can publish this to my […]

You should have a “Remove this domain from all searches” button next to your search results. There are some domains that just come up for everything, and you wish they would just die.
This would only be active when you have “Personalized Search” on.
