MSN Stakes Local-Search Claim on Virtual
Earth
06/22/2005 02:18 AMMicrosoft plans to announce its initial push into local search on
Monday as it takes a step closer to launching a competitor to Google's
online aerial maps. The company's Internet division is expected to
release a beta version of MSN Local Search. The service, which will be
added as a link from the main MSN Search site, will provide
geographically targeted search results about businesses and other
local information, as well as online street and aerial maps
pinpointing the results.
MSN's main competitors, Google, Yahoo and America Online Inc., already
offer similar local listings, but MSN officials say they are already
working on combining local search with more advanced online maps. To
that end, MSN is set to announce that it is merging the team building
the
MSN Virtual Earth service previewed by Microsoft
Chairman Bill Gates last month with the MSN Search team.

Silicon Valley 100

Silicon Valley 100 is a project by Auren Hoffman. I was lucky
enough to make it on the list. The idea is to make a list of
"connectors" and send them new gadgets and products to test. Newsweek
just did a story about this. I think it is almost like an opt-in
focus group. The obvious criticism would be these companies are trying
to buy "buzz". The difference between this and some buzz creation
companies is 1) it's not stealth 2) they don't tell you what to say. I
checked with Auren and he says that we can write whatever we want
about the products. When I get a product from Silicon Valley 100, I
will state this clearly in any blog post that refers to it and will
say what I think. I realize that the fact that we probably get to keep
most of the products makes it a bit like bribery, but if it's crap,
I'm sure most people will throw it away. I would be most interested in
products that are still not on the market where our feedback could be
incorporated in the product design. Then our feedback could be more
constructive...
Anyway, I'd be curious on people's thoughts.
The first product is a brondell
high-tech toilet seat. I told Auren, that this is one product that
Japan is a world leader in. I blogged this before, but we have over 50% household
penetration. The one in my house and in my office even has anti-stinky
gas-gate like air filtration.
UPDATE: Just uploaded a 5 min 4.3 MB
conversation with Auren Hoffman, the founder of the Silicon Valley
100.
UPDATE 2: Uploaded it to archive.org
too. Maybe I should put my media files there instead since archive
org does the file conversions for me too...

Onshoring To Silicon Valley
Onshoring To Silicon Valley
02/16/2004 11:57 AMThanks to everyone (and there were a lot of you) for submitting this
story from the San Jose Mercury News talking about
fore
ign companies "onshoring" jobs - basically, opening up an office
and hiring people in Silicon Valley, because of the various benefits
of the location: lots of smart people, lots of other companies for
partnering and selling, and easy access to venture capital. While the
numbers are small compared to offshoring, it brings up the point we've
been saying for a while. Despite the naysayers, there are jobs where
a physical presence in a certain location makes a lot of sense.

Dublin as Wireless Silicon Valley
Dublin as Wireless Silicon Valley
12/19/2004 03:18 PM I'm definitely feeling that my impending move to Dublin will put me
in the right place at the right time: Government and corporate leaders
in Dublin are hoping to establish Dublin as a center for the wireless
industry where companies form a community that develops and furthers
wireless technology. Some big companies that already have offices in
Dublin or Ireland are backing the idea, including Intel, Lucent, O2,
Esat BT and Bell Labs Ireland. It's hard to know if this initiative is
merely wishful thinking on the part of city leaders hoping to spur an
increase in business, but there's no doubt that there's still a lot of
high-tech work being done in Dublin as well as some cutting edge
wireless development. A bit of a boost from the government and some
marketing could just spur it along even further....

In 1990 we were licensing the UserLand IAC Toolkit to other
developers. Our first and only licensee was Claris, an Apple
subsidiary run by Bill Campbell, Yogen Dalal and John Zeisler. Their
products included MacWrite, MacPaint, Hypercard, maybe Filemaker? Not
sure. They were a friendly company, nice guys. I'd meet with them from
time to time to talk about how apps would work when they could be
connected by a scripting system. I was working on such a system, the
software that would become Frontier. (When it's open sourced you'll
see that the toolkit is still in there.)
Anyway, Apple decided to compete with our scripting system, and
began by creating a clone of our interapplication communication
toolkit. They were having a big sales meeting in Hawaii to demo the
new stuff, but sadly it wasn't ready. So our friends at Claris demo'd
our software, and told everyone it was Apple's.
How inconvenient it would be for our competitors to actually
have to implement the software they were going to use to compete with
us. Heh. Sorry for the sarcasm. That's big Silicon Valley companies
for you. A smaller company might have been embarrased that they didn't
come up with the idea themselves and had to use a developer's product
and had to lie about it, to their own sales people. Maybe they would
even be ashamed.
Reminds me of a Michael O'Donoghue song that Doc Searls posted on
his blog on 2/12/03.
I'd like to give the world a
hug
And tell it jokes and stuff
Then pull its pants down to its
shoes
And chase it through the rough
I'd tie it up with bonds
and straps
And check its purse for change
Then leave it out at
Moose Grin Hall
With our cousin who's
deranged.
Also reminds me of the HL Mencken quote. When someone says it's
not about the money, it's about the money.
So of course, when they say Don't Be Evil -- they're being
evil.
