DISQUS

:LOL God help those kids if they had attempted something like that here in the New York City.

Walking past many of those waiting in line on our way to work - you know you'd better not mess around

It is a serious flaw in any argument to talk about an organization as if it was one monolithic organism acting and thinking in unison.

Live your Life as if you are Living your Second Chance.

Gave his Video site a Digg last night - already on the Homepage, his bandwidth must have skyrocketed

We're all connected and when something interesting happens in our community it goes worldwide very quickly.

================================

That is true - eNews spreads faster than an eVirus - but on the down side, Now it will be easier for RUMOURS to spread.... and if they happen NOT to be true - someone's rep or stock shares could be immediately affected. :(

These are not small little tweaks. They are wholesale changes to how Microsoft treats its employees

============================

Were they in any way influenced by Google's highly pubicized approaches?

Pehaps there was fear of the best and brightest - leaving for the hi-profile competition.

Will you get - 20% of time to work on personal projects - option?

Now, THAT would be wholesale ;-)

Just Gave it a Digg - Hope this helps spread the word around

The next evolution Search may be:

--> Intelligent Concept Search Technology
--> Latent Semantic Indexing
--> Personalized Search Results based on User Learning

Microsoft and Google will possibly be forefront in optimizing these new technologies - because they will require the very highest of the hi-tech to implement - and will require MASSIVE resources.

Both G and MS have access to some of the brightest software engineers worldwide along the deep investment pockets.

///// Chris asks "I would love to know how this works." Unfortunately I can't give away all the details, Eye-Fi hasn't finished the development and Yuval asked me not to talk about how it works technically.

==================================

Apparently this works via the special EyeFi Server acting as the redirect-middle-layer.
The software in the Card and the EyeFi server is probably synched via your personal input info...

The beauty of this is the freedom NOT to be locked in to any one manufacture.

Too bad their official Website was so sparse on any real info.

Good collection - but also consider adding "COMET" programming to your list

it it the evoluton of AJAX

Thank you, this is a valuable article - definitely a Bookmarker :-)

You just made the front page of Digg

This is a Good tool for quick edits, but there are dozens of others that also do interesting things...

Some can create Animated Gifs online from your image or Text . and some can allow the creation of Banners or Font Graphics with any Jpg Gif or PNG image you can upload...

---- Recently, the amount of web spam has increased dramatically, leading to a degradation of search results

On what basis is this comment made, it appears that there is obviously less Spam getting high on the SERPs of Major Search Engines, than ever before in the history of Search Engines Web.

Google and MSN have have detailed interviews with their Engineers discussing their effective strategies and tactics for making their SERPs noticeably relevant.

- LINK POPULARITY
- CLICK POPULARITY
- DE-DUPLICATION
- INSTANT BANNING OF HIDDEN TEXT / JAVASCRIPT REDIRECTS

to name but a few ongoing strategies.

One one school of thought is that they are overdoing the ALGOs to the point that only large companies can now get respectable rankings for competative keyphrases.

MSN search relevancy HAS improved :-)

But the so-called "Neural Network or RankNet" is ver, very similar to the DirectHit (CLICK POPULARITY) Search Engine of the late 1990s -
here are some saved SERPs and Redirect Urls that you can examine and compare for yourselves ...

The obvious question is - if it failed for DirectHit, what is it that MSN search can do that is better?


BTW:
DirectHit's technology was purchased by Ask.com - are they using it?
