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.

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.

Microsoft Buys Groove

Microsoft Buys Groove 03/14/2005 06:07 PM

Microsoft to Acquire Groove Networks, Combining Talents to Create Anytime, Anywhere Collaboration Products and Services: This is kind of a no-brainer. Micrsoft owned 25% of Groove, and it was only a matter of time until Groove got built into Windows.

Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will acquire Groove Networks Inc., a leading provider of collaboration software for the "virtual office."

This will essentially give every copy of Windows a built-in private P2P network. The RIAA can't be happy about that prospect.

I'm not a big fan of Groove. I spent $700 on it, altogether. It did the job, I guess, but I ended up using it for little more than file syncing between machines — about 10% of the app. I just never felt comfortable with it, because of the Windows lock-in.

Will we ever do this again? Is 2004 the last year we're going to have national conventions like these? I just came back from picking up my credentials, which meant taking the T down to the Fleet Center, waiting on the wrong line, being directed by a series of five polite cops to the press office, and then being told that bloggers pick up their credentials at the Westin Hotel five subway stops away. My fault for not finding out ahead of time where to go. But the trip to and then around the Fleet Center was instructive, for...

At the next convention

At the next convention 08/05/2004 10:40 AM

Chris Casey of the Democratic News Service asked, on the Convention Bloggers mail list, what we would do differently for 2008. Here's what I say.

In retrospect, it would have been incredible to have a BloggerCon at the DemCon. Off the floor. A room packed with big Democratic icons, the candidates, the operators, the money, the press.

A discussion leader. Let's get to the heart of things. Let's explain to the folks at home how this really works.

We've shown you what the convention looks like to a hayseed in the big city. Now what does it look like from the insider perspective.

And by the way, it's cool that you're all so excited about blogs. Really cool. But what about your friends at the RIAA. They're not our friends. Not because we're pirates, but because we love the First Amendment, like Democrats do. The two positions are not compatible. You can't love blogs and love Hollywood at the same time.

But this iteration was great. Next time let's give the people what only they have. Power. Government of the people, by the people and for the people. Shall not perish from the earth.

She was there to promote Environment 2004's ecological agenda. Why come to the bloggers? Because we're the future of the media, etc. etc. Being a celebrity, um, camp follower — and having utterly failed to satisfy my children's requirement that I come back with photos of The Daily Show correspondents — I interviewed her. What's her political background? Her parents know Gov. Ed Rendell and she's...

Dan has a lovely piece about blogging and observing the Convention. I find I have no coherent expectations about it or what I'll write about. I bounce from thinking that I'll react to the Big Speeches to reporting small anecdotes to reading the clips of Mailer's 1960s political coverage and thinking "Take away the talent and incredible insight, and what's he got that I don't got?" I can't even anticipate how cynical or filled with spirit I'll be; I am, after all, perfectly capable of crying at a good political speech. (It's hope that turns on the ol' waterworks. Gotta...

Jay Rosen: My advice to the hypothetical blogger with credentials for Boston is fairly simple. (What's yours? Hit the comment button and speak.) Know what happened to the first regime in convention coverage, why it yielded to television and how it became a media event. Don't join up with the second regime, whose story went dead a long time ago. If in doubt on what to write about, ask yourself who sent you and your laptop to Beantown, and post an account for them. Report backwards to whatever place you came from-- including the opinions you came from. Feed the...

Joe points to the resentment journalists feel towards bloggers because we haven't "paid our dues." True enough.

Convention Bloggers and the Future 07/30/2004 03:55 PM
For all the occasional self-absorption and recursive coverage of coverage of blogging at the Democratic National Convention, it's clear that the experiment must be chalked up as a success. The bloggers' work ranged from abysmal to terrific, sort of like traditional journalism. What's important to keep in mind is that this was one of those moments when things pivot slightly. The accreditation of bloggers to the convention was an affirmation by a highly centralized hierarchy -- the Democratic Party -- of an evolving kind of information flow. That the even more centralized Republican Party has felt obliged to include bloggers is evidence of the shift.
