Is AOL Making Political Adjustments To
Google Searches?
02/10/2004 05:32 PMThe concept of Google bombing is
not
new, and we've already discussed what a pointless waste of time it
is - sort of the equivalent to scribbling someone's name and an insult
on the bathroom wall. It does a lot more to show the immaturity of
those involved than to actually convince anyone of the "insult" being
proposed. However, AOL is apparently taking another view of the
practice. They've
edited out the famous "miserable failure" Google bomb
result that pointed to George W. Bush. While AOL is free to do
what they want, this opens up quite the can of worms. AOL says they
did it to get rid of "obviously irrelevant results." The problem,
though, is that a group of people who were upset about the miserable
failure Google bomb have been trying to associate the phrase with
various other people such as Michael Moore, Hillary Clinton and Jimmy
Carter - and AOL saw no problem leaving those links. Once you start
editing the search results, it leaves you wide open to questions about
why you edited them the way you did. AOL would have been much better
off ignoring this matter, and letting the search results fall as they
did.

ter.com/Article.aspx?1002877Amid the excitement with
search advertising revenue growth and the upcoming Google IPO, a study
finds US executives dissatisfied with the performance of online search
engines.
According to a survey released by FIND/SVP, 84% of
business executives feel that Web searches -- using the generally
consumer-centric search engines now available --take longer than they
should due to poor results. It is estimated that the loss of
productive time using search engines to conduct online research cost
businesses $31 billion last year. The study found that that not only
are 71% of business executives frustrated with consumer search
engines, 74% are not even confident that the results are reliable.
However, despite this lack of confidence, 67% stated it would be
difficult or impossible to do their jobs without Web-based search
tools. Business professionals also question the reliability of search
information, with 52% only "somewhat confident" that results originate
from credible sources.
Interesting article and it just
happens that FIND/SVP announces their "new"
business search engine this week!!

"Steven Savage has the turn of mind that plays with permutations,
and has come up with an entire page of
generators. Mostly they’re just for fun, or as an aid to
imagination for gamers; but a couple of them generated material that
would catch my eye in a slush ms. One is the Academic SF
Generator (inexplicably filed under character-related generators),
which generates fields of study...
Even better is the Action Film
Trailer Generator. It’s meant to generate parodic
action-movie trailer voiceovers." [Making

doing in school only when report cards came home or during

are making grades available nearly in real-time over the Internet.
Some teachers include pending assignments, written comments, class

Atari Copies BMW In Making Online
Promotional Movies
01/02/2004 11:01 PMI'm really somewhat amazed it's taken this long, but someone has
finally decided to duplicate BMW's efforts to make
compelling
online promotions that people will seek out. Following the example of
BMW films (a set of short films by famous directors that have a BMW as
a major component of the story line), Atari has
made a short film for one of their games that
includes no game footage and will be shown entirely online. Once
again, someone is realizing that promotional materials and content are
the same thing, and you get to promote more if (a) the content is good
and compelling and (b) you give it away free.

What Our Web Searches Say about Us
What Our Web Searches Say about Us
08/21/2004 05:05 AMWhat Our Web Searches Say about Ushttp://www.emarke
ter.com/Article.aspx?1002972Over two-thirds of those
polled by
Harris
Interactive and
MSN feel Web
searches are the fastest way to find information, though what they are
searching for varies widely. Whether because of curiosity, boredom or
perhaps the need to find someone from one's past, many people use
search engines to find out about the activities and whereabouts of
friends, family and ex-boyfriends or girlfriends (the practice is
widespread enough that it has acquired a name — "googling" someone
— though the sponsor of the survey, MSN, probably hopes to change
that with its recently revamped search engine). The most popular
person-search of all, however, is users looking up themselves.
You know you just cannot get away from that EgoBot thing ;-)).
This will be added to a number of my speeches available from
Internet Speaker.

Google URL Searches
Google URL Searches
09/07/2004 10:24 AMHere's a handy trick with Google: "inurl" searches. You can search
for a text string in just the URLs of Google's index.
For instance, I wanted to know what content management system a
certain site used. All of the site's URLs had the same patten
("/cgi-bin/b7/..."). This search in Google...
inurl:cgi-bin/b7/
...produced a list of pages with this same URL pattern. From
there, it wasn't hard to find one that referenced their platform: Bazaar<
/a>.
Handy.
