.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?pr03146Of all the personal
computers to be unwrapped during the holiday season, more than 80
percent will be used to go online and search the Web's more than 92
million gigabytes of data (comparable to a 2 billion-volume
encyclopedia). Getting online is the easy part, finding a useful Web
page is a bit harder—keeping track of a useful Web page is another
issue altogether.
People have devised many tricks—such as
sending e-mails to themselves or jotting on sticky notes—for keeping
track of Web pages, but William Jones and Harry Bruce at the
University of Washington's Information School and Susan Dumais of
Microsoft Research have found that often people don't use any of them
when it comes time to revisit a Web page. Instead, they rely on their
ability to find the Web page all over again.

the Information School at the University of Washingtonhttp://kftf.isc
hool.washington.edu/projKFTF.asphttp://kftf
.ischool.washington.edu/publications.aspThe goal of
this study is to understand better the ways in which people manage
information for subsequent re-access and re-use. The study focuses on
the management of information found on the Word Wide Web. Follow-on
studies will look at similar problems and practices of personal
information management for other information types including email and
personal files (electronic and paper-based). The classic problem of
information retrieval, simply put, is to help people find the
relatively small number of things they are looking for (books,
articles, web pages, CDs, etc.) from a very large set of
possibilities. This classic problem has been studied in many
variations and has been addressed through a rich diversity of
information retrieval tools and techniques.
A follow-on
problem also exists which has received relatively less study: Once
found, how are things organized for re-access and re-use later on?
What can be done to avoid the need to repeat the entire search
process? We refer to this as the problem of Keeping Found Things
Found. The current study addresses this problem in the context of
World Wide Web use. The study focuses on use of the Web by managers,
researchers, librarians and other information specialists. But it is
expected that the results of the study will be relevant to most users
of the Web.

The Reality of Bugs
The Reality of Bugs
11/13/2003 12:38 AMAs some comments in my previous blog entry illustrate, I think
people simply don't grasp the magnitude of the Web. There are
(conservatively) 10 million Web sites on the Web. Let's say
(conservatively) that each Web site has 50 unique Web pages. That's
500 million Web pages that the Web browser has to work perfectly
on.
Let's imagine that the browser has done a fantastic job of
emulating all the quirks of WinIE and Netscape 4, and that it is
really good at laying out malformed HTML. An awesome browser would be
(conservatively) 95% compliant, which means that it would have some
sort of bug or problem on 5% of those 500 million Web pages.
5% of 500 million Web pages is 25 million malfunctioning Web pages.
Let's now assume that only 10% of those Web pages are even seen by
someone using Safari itself. Now we're down to 2.5 million pages seen
by Safari users.
If only 10% of those users even bother to report a bug, that's
250,000 unique bugs that have to be screened.
This is the reality of the Web. People are constantly shocked and
amazed that their pet bug hasn't been fixed in subsequent releases
(e.g., in Mozilla or Safari), but those people simply don't understand
how many hundreds of thousands of bugs their particular problem is
competing with.

Yahoo's Web Bugs: How to Opt Out
05/11/2004 01:22 PMA reader alerts me to Yahoo's use of Web Bugs, invisible files that
let the company track a variety of behavior "inside and outside our
network of web sites and in connection with Yahoo! products and
services." Yahoo says no personally identifying information is
collected, but since it knows who you are when you're doing email,
that's a distinction without a difference, I think.
Anyway, here's a page where you can opt
out. Yahoo calls them "Web Beacons," a rhetorical trick.
Note that you have to do it for each browser you use, and the browsers
have to accept cookies. Also note that when you opt out you get a page
that makes it all to easily to inadvertently opt back in. Be careful.
For more information on web bugs, see this page

Bugs are Free
Bugs are Free
03/13/2003 10:14 AMSpeaking with Dare today helped me to clarify one of my motives for
doing "open source" things -- a motive that I suspect is shared by
many. This particular motive stems (in essence) from the
psychology that "bug fixes should be free". It's not about
fixing bugs, but the psychology is closely related:
When writing code, programmers usually have some goal or outcome in
mind -- some valuable vision which they wish to materialize. The
path between vision and realization is never as clear and clean as one
initially imagines, though. Nowhere is persistence in the face
of disappointment more important than in computer programming.
Along the path from vision to reality, the programmer encounters many
obstacles which warrant an attitude "it shouldn't be so hard to
embed a web page in a WinForm!" or "why the heck didn't the
docs say that this was a zero-based index??" There
are many things that one encounters when programming which are
simply wrong, in a fundamental "the universe is not
right" sense.
I believe that most programmers do not want to give away their
valuable end-product without some kind of significant reward.It is
unlikely that someone would sink the sort of psychological and
material investment necessary to produce good software if they
perceived it as being worthless. On the other hand, the
psychology will be quite different for code that was written to
overcome obstacles on the path to realizing that vision. When
someone looks at a piece of code and thinks "I never should have
been forced to jump through so many hoops to accomplish such a simple
task", they are far more likely to think that the code should see
wide distribution.
Of course, one could say that the act of eliminating a common
road-block that has plagued other programmers is valuable, and
therefore should be priced accordingly. In fact, this is the
case. Much of the software industry produces "platform" products
which are essentially middlemen sitting between (and ideally
assisting) programmers and the real-world "solutions" that they
create. I think that the real psychological difference,
however, is the way that software producers view their
obstacles. Even if you are writing "platform" software which is
not directly addressing real-world solutions, your software is
"real-world" to the extent that someone will pay you licensing fees
for it (in other words, it could be very real value as far as
you're concerned). On the other hand, every unexpected obstacle
that "shouldn't have been a problem in the first place" will
be perceived by most as annoying expenses that reduce the profit
margin (monetary or otherwise).
Happiness isn't a universal right, but pursuit of
happiness is.People are far more likely to be altruistic about
removing unreasonable obstacles (as perceived by them) to the
pursuit of happiness.

Microsoft's New Model Has Some Bugs
10/29/2003 10:21 AMIts not every week that technology stalwart Microsoft sheds 8% off its
share price, as it did last week after the company reported a steep
drop in deferred revenue. Punishing the stock with its steepest
one-day price decline in at least three years may have been an
overreaction. But it did underscore some wrinkles in Microsoft's new
subscription-payment plan.
