Re: Google’s Marissa Mayer: Social search is the future

michael wong — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 23:41:13 -0000

Me, I'd prefer my search results be influenced by people I admire. For example, if I was looking for a good steak restaurant in Omaha, I would love to know where Warren Buffet goes. Or if I wanted a good book to read, what is Monica Ali currently reading?

I think social search based on my friends isn't going to help. My friends know as much as I do - which is nada. If I knew it, I wouldn't be searching for it. Besides, it's a lot easier to msn my buddy and ask him.

Lastly, I just bought a new camcorder which in itself is a horrible experience. I would have loved to know what camcorders guys at blogs like engagdet or gizmodo actually bought. If my search was somehow tied into those of influentials, now that would be cool.

Actually, it's no different than what Google is already doing with their pageranking system. Links from popular sites carry more weight than Spam blogs. In my vision of social search, my search results would be influenced by what guys like Seth Godin and Paul Graham search for.

Re: The Power of Spontaneity and How to Wield It

Spontaneous led me to buy an acoustic guitar and play it once. Spontaneous got me to sign up for Tae Kwon Do classes. I paid $625 and went exactly three times. :(
On the whole spontaneous is great, except for the lazy. Oh wait, that's not spontaneous. That's impulsive. My bad. Great post!

Re: Relax Like A Pro: 5 Steps to Hacking Your Sleep

Hi Tim. When I read your headline off popurls, I was kind of disappointed at first. I became a fan after learning a new language in an hour and this time around, I thought you were going to "reheat leftovers" instead of cooking us a tasty blog meal.

I was so wrong. All of what you're saying about sleep is profoundly insightful and completely new to me, and that says a lot because I'm pretty addicted to social media.

Oh here's my 2 cents on sleeping since I'm here:

For the longest time I used to listen to pink noise. That was hit and miss. Just like listening to rain, thunder, or ocean mp3s. Then I bought a pzizz license and while it was very effective at first, it's become too familiar now and has ceased to help.

My secret for falling asleep now that I'm basically retired is that I just work/digg/red/stumb/clip/youtube until I can't keep my eyes open any longer.

Oh and Mile Davis's (for all the punctuation cops out there, yes I know s's is usually reserved for JC, that's why I'm using it) Kind of Blue will help me fall asleep too because it's so stilling.

Thanks for keeping it real bro.
