Search 06/09/2004 12:27 PM
While Google has made news for its plans to launch a desktop search tool that would compete with Microsoft's desktop search tool in Longhorn (should, you know, that ever get released), AskJeeves continues to putter away quietly in the background buying up small companies and expanding their own offerings. The latest is that, rather than build up a desktop search offering, they've gone out and bought Tukaroo, a provider of desktop search tools. It will be interesting to see if AskJeeves starts to get more attention, or if they remain quietly in the background.

OK - so first you graduate from Clay Shirky's exclusive school of thought, eat the red pill, drink some koolaid and do something Clay thinks is cool.

Then you use the blogosphere to launch - but you never really achieve critical mass - but that's OK. As long as Cory Doctorow or Xeni think it's cool - you're set. There's not need to achieve positive cash flow or even have more than 2 employees.

Just build up a "little traction" and come up with some cool model like "Stoli Vodka" wants to be your friend. Come here to meet Stoli (or was it Skye?) [NOTE: Eli reminds me that it was Absolut.]

Then just stand back and wait to get bought out. It worked for ODDpost, Flickr and now Dodgeball - who's next?

Firefox to Strengthen Pop-up Blocking

Firefox to Strengthen Pop-up Blocking 04/05/2005 11:52 AM

say goodbye (again) to pop-ups!: Here's why a lot of sites have managed to get around Firefox's pop-up blocking lately.

A lot of people have been reporting a new breed of pop-ups on the web. This increasing menace is rooted in the pop-up capabilities of plug-ins like flash and Java. If you're seeing pop-ups and pop-unders, you're probably visiting sites that have flash or other plug-ins and those plug-ins are being exploited by advertisers to abuse you with annoying pop-ups and pop-unders.

Mozilla is taking steps to strengthed pop-up blocking, which is good news because I've seen it get a lot worse lately. Via Slashdot.

I have run into a few pages over at Microsoft that have not loaded from time to time in Firefox, and really did not think anything about it. Apparently it is getting the dandruff up of some of the Firefox development team. I am not all that surprised, but I would be curious to have a technical explanation on why they will not load or are they simply and truly being blocked? If someone can answer that question I think that would explain a lot on why it is happening. [weblogs .mozillazine.org/asa/]

CMP Says It's Not Blocking Google

CMP Says It's Not Blocking Google 06/25/2004 11:54 AM

CMP Techweb.com's editor in chief, Fredric Paul, says the report I linked to yesterday is incorrect. He writes:

Anyway, we saw that you picked up the CyberJournalist piece on CMP blocking access to our stories from Google News. I don't know where that came from, but it is wrong. We do not and have never blocked access from Google or any other search engine. That's easily testable, try it yourself. We do, however, intercept links from certain competitors who reproduce significant portions of our stories on their own pages -- sometimes even stealing the first link-- before they finally post a link to our original material. In most cases, the intercept we put up allows the reader to then click to their intended destination. Other major technology publishers, including IDG, do similar things. We're not just old media, and we're not completely clueless.

Thanks to Milly for sending word of a Google Toolbar update. New features include a Google Answers link and support for URLs that are broken apart (such as wrapped URLs in email). If you're running the toolbar you can use the experimental features setting to search Dictionary.com from the Combined Search button. Milly also has a series of Google bookmarklets, to search different parts of Google and things like the Microsoft Knowledge Base. They don't seem to work in IE5/Mac. If you're using that, you might be more interested in my own Googler or DTRT, which let you search all the Google's from the comfort of your address bar....

Now Google Getting Sued For Blocking
Trademarked Terms

Now Google Getting Sued For Blocking
Trademarked Terms 12/12/2003 03:10 PM
A few months back, France fined Google for selling ads based on trademarked terms. I was surprised, because in my own experiments with Google ads, I've had a few ads that were rejected because they (according to Google) contained trademarked terms. Personally, I don't see how buying a keyword is, in any way, a violation of trademark. The point of a trademark is to protect the company from having someone else appear to be you. You can't sell Bob's Cola and put a Coca-Cola label on it. However, if someone is looking for Coca-Cola, there's nothing wrong with suggesting they might also want to look at Bob's Cola, as well. Anyway, now it looks like Google may get hit from the other side as well. They've been fined for selling ads based on trademarks, and now, apparently, they're going to ge t sued for blocking ads based on trademark complaints. The pending lawsuit apparently says that Google is banning ads on terms that aren't trademarked as soon as anyone complains. That is, Google doesn't check to see if there's an actual trademark - they just ban the ad as soon as there's a complaint. The group that's going to sue says they've brought together over 3,000 complaining advertisers who have had ads blocked. As mentioned, I've had my ads blocked too, but this seems like a ridiculous lawsuit. Where in the law does it say that Google has to sell you ads for whatever you want? They have the right to reject ads for whatever reason they want. It is their system, after all. If people believe they're blocking ads unfairly, then isn't that an opening for competitors to better serve advertisers by offering them something that Google doesn't?

Big Bug: Google Blocks All Results When
Blocking Spam

Big Bug: Google Blocks All Results When
Blocking Spam 10/28/2003 11:08 PM
Seth Finkelstein has made a startling discovery, backed with lots of evidence: when a spam result comes up in a search, Google not only blocks the spam, but every result after it. This means that for searches where spam results manage to rise to the top, very few -- sometimes zero -- results will be returned. Examples: motorcycle candle, keyboard bracelet. These are common words for which you'd expect to see results (in fact, the latter even says there are thousands of results) but the bug prevents them from being seen. Eliminating the spam pages (by blocking a word, antenna, that appears on them) allows full results to be displayed. It's pretty amazing that such a serious bug made it past Google's tests. It will be interesting to see how quickly it's fixed....
