Intuit: How the Makers of Quicken Beat
Microsoft and Revolutionized an Entire
Industry 10/29/2003 12:10 AM
It's a modern-day David and Goliath story for the business world: a company dreamed up at a kitchen table, built on explosive PC growth, and forced to battle a giant in the race to revolutionize an industry. This is the story of Intuit, creator of renowned software products like Quicken, QuickBooks, and TurboTax-the company that beat mighty Microsoft and changed the way 25 million people manage their finances. Written by Intuit veteran Suzanne Taylor and seasoned business manager Kathy Schroeder-who were granted exclusive interviews with founder Scott Cook and other key figures- Inside Intuit tells this company's original and fascinating tale for the first time. The book vividly recounts each dramatic stage of Intuit's development: from initial conception to "bet the company" investments; from strokes of marketing genius to disastrous product launches; and from battles for survival to successive victories against arch-rival Microsoft-the company no one else could beat.

Inside Google News

Inside Google News 06/05/2005 11:34 PM

I just heard an excellent presentation by Krishna Bharat of Google News. He explained how Google News works. It basically crawls news sites, finds "story clusters", ranks the sources, figures out how prominently each source is running the story, figures out whether its a big story or a little story, figures out geographic references, and builds the pages for the various geographic and language editions. He was talking to an audience of editors so there were many questions about how the "editing" process worked and many people couldn't seem to believe it was algorithmic. Some people seemed afraid that Google News would replace them. The point that he made and was clear from the process that he explained is that it uses the decisions that the editors of the various media make about what story to run and where in deciding how important a story was. It was basically aggregating the decisions of the editors, not replacing them. Without the editors and the "fr ont page process" Google News couldn't decide what story to lead with. At least in its current form.

The derivative conclusion you can come to is that Google News is just amplifying or reinforcing systemic biases in MSM editorial and NOT helping to address these issues. I think this make Google News very news media friendly and also provides an opportunity for bloggers and projects like Global Voices to still have a very important role. I guess that if Google New started incorporating more of the alternative press, they could shift the bias.

During the discussion, Dan Gillmor pressed Krishna for more transparency on the algorithm and the list of sources and I seconded the motion.

Some good notes of the sessions on the editors blog.

The Legality Of Amazon's Search The Book
Feature 11/11/2003 10:32 AM
Who better to discuss the legality of Amazon's new full text search feature, than a copyright lawyer who is also an author? Over at News.com, Doug Isenberg points out that if you happen to do a search on the system of "fair use" and "internet", you'll actually get the passage from his book describing how one of the determinants of whether or not something is fair use is how it impacts the sales of the book. So, while he's was a bit surprised, as an author, to find out his entire book was online via Amazon, it's probably perfectly legal. In fact, he says that the publishers probably do have the right to make that call (no matter what the Authors Guild says), though he admits that almost no one probably thought about this potential use of their work when they signed their publishing deal.

Amazon Book Search Boosting Sales So Far

Amazon Book Search Boosting Sales So Far 10/31/2003 01:39 AM
Amazon today was excited to announce that in the first week of their full-text book searching service, books in the service sold 9% better than those not in the search. While I do think the service is great, and I'm sure it will boost sales, I'm not sure these numbers mean anything. There was definitely a big boost in usage of this service due to the ton of publicity it received. So, let's see how it's doing a few months down the road, and then it might be worth talking about. In the meantime, various authors are sti ll complaining about the service. They quote an author of a travel book who is worried that readers only want a couple of sections and would print those out and never buy the book. I guess he hasn't been ot the library lately. If people just need a couple pages out of his book, they're not going to buy the book anyway.

Google Book 06/16/2002 11:50 AM
via Rael Dornfest we learn that Tara Calishan is writing a book on Google: As most of you know, I write stuff. And soon I'll be helping put together a book on search engines. Now that the Google API has been released, books on search engines are much more than "use this search technique" (though those are important too.) Now people can put programs together that do Cool Search Things. If you know of a cool Google technique -- an interesting use of the API, a search trick you think is nifty -- send it in. (I already know about Googlewhacks, Googlematic, Google Smackdown, and Google results by e-mail!) ALSO, if you have a GOOGLE WISH -- the thought, "Wow, I wish I could do X with Google," send that in too. I might be able to help make your Google Wish come true!Aww, I wanted to write that book. Anyway, keep sending in your cool Google tools, techniques and wishes. Thanks!

The searchable materials consist partly of already digital materials, and of some scanned texts. Results are in images, not text, and therefore harder to copy.

The toy line, which will hit store shelves in the fall, will feature characters Napoleon, Pedro and Kip.
