LookSmart Buys Furl -- The Search
Stickiness Battles Are On

LookSmart Buys Furl -- The Search
Stickiness Battles Are On 09/23/2004 03:21 AM
Well, look at that. Just yesterday, we were pointing out how Ask Jeeves was adding features to store and annotate the websites you like and asked if people wouldn't just prefer to use an independent offering like Furl, rather than be tied down to a specific search property. Whoops. Forget we said that. Furl has just announced (no news sites have it yet, but we're including the text of the email after the jump) that they've been acquired by Looksmart, the also-ran paid-search, paid-inclusion search engine provider. So, this is yet another search provider trying to increase stickiness by letting users do more with their search results. They're also offering five gigs of storage. If you hadn't realized it yet, this space is getting more interesting every day.

Jon Udell: Extreme design versus extreme
programming 06/18/2002 08:16 AM
I've just returned from the What's Next conference in Brattleboro, Vermont, where I gave a pair of talks (one on web services, one on application servers). The keynote speaker for the day was Alan Cooper, designer of Visual Basic, author of several books, and founder of a company that specializes in interaction design.

Cooper's view is that the kinds of disasters that have always plagued the industry -- most recently, the catastrophic outcomes of many CRM (customer relationship management) systems -- are a result neither of poor strategy, nor of poor engineering, but of a failure to properly coordinate the two. The missing piece in his view is product planning and design, done according to a methodology that Cooper has devised and that his company practices. This methodology aligns itself with Colonel John Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop, fashionable in military circles.

Damn! That's like taking a taxi ride and only finding out afterwards that you were sharing the cab with Mick Jagger. (Btw, that's privacy maestro Marc Rotenberg next to Soros.)...

MTV gets cold feet, or does it?

MTV gets cold feet, or does it? 05/27/2004 06:12 AM
This turns into one of those cases where researching a story gets weirder. The documentary Supe r Size Me centers on a documentary filmmaker's 30 day experience eating nothing but McDonalds. The film is doing amazingly well as a limited release documentary grossing more per screen than high-budget Troy. Here is the weird part, Reuters has picked up on a distributor press release claiming that MTV is refusing to air advertising for Super Size Me because the film is "disparaging to fast-food restaurants". The Reuters short seems to have quite a bit of legs. However a Hollywood Reporter article details MTVs side of the story placing the blame on the film's distributor. Is this really a case of a network getting cold feet? Or is it a case of distributor trying to pull the "too edgy for MTV" moneymaking ploy? And what is with the continually morphing Reuters clip that is just now being tossed onto doorsteps and stuffed into newsboxes across North America? (The film was previously discussed on metafilter back in January.

[This is part of a series of posts on the home buying process I'm going thru. To see the full set, visit the house category archives.] After the place I saw the other day, I got to wondering how big my apartment really is. The place I saw was in the 1,500 square feet ballpark and just didn't feel very big. It seemed that I had quite a bit more room in my old 1,400 square foot house back in...

Bare feet?

Bare feet? 06/21/2004 06:13 AM
Mindy wonders if anybody would notice if she took her shoes off at work (in Finnish). In the spirit of scientific exploration, I took my shoes and socks off to check what would happen.

So far it's been 15 minutes, and at least one person went by without saying anything (though she did wonder why I did not want to go to lunch yet.) I will keep you updated.

(Oh yeah, and my coworkers reading this weblog: it does not count if you read it from here first. So nyah.)

30 minutes: I'm feeling a slight chill. I'm trying to wiggle my toes to keep them warm.

60 minutes: Close to an hour. My feet are definitely getting cold. I wonder if there's "email yoga"? (By the way - I have about four Gmail invitations left, so if you want to test drive it, drop me some email.)

100 minutes: I'll now attempt to go to the toilet. Wish me luck.'

102 minutes: back. Nothing.

The wind started blowing over the Sierras just right today and we got the wave were were hoping for. I had an early flight in the Pegasus, which I hadn't flown in about a year. I managed to eventually thermal up to 10,500 feet after I spotted a pair of dust devils merging. I hit the bottom of the secondary wave a few times but never got up in it. So I tried pushing into the primary but ended up...

Antigravity has feet of clay

Antigravity has feet of clay 02/05/2005 09:26 PM
Thanks to Gnomie Paul Wright for this item. Space agency report is a downer for gravity-control researchers. “Could astronauts take a leaf out of H. G. Wells’s book The First Men in the Moon, and use spacecraft propelled by antigravity devices? Some see the idea as science fiction, but major space agencies take it seriously. In 2001, the European Space Agency (ESA) commissioned two scientists to evaluate schemes for gravity control. They have concluded that,…

I'm sitting on the doorstep handing out treats to trick or treaters. I'm dressed up as a computer geek with my laptop playing Halloween songs from Rhapsody over my wireless network.

Well, okay, I'm not really dressed up... it's my everyday outfit, but I'm still running with it. It's a shifted holiday at my house!

Oh, and the Laughing Librarian just came by my house with his daughter. He's dressed in a safari outfit with a giant snake wrapped around his body. Awesome!
