Long Weekend = Mega-Post
I won’t be back online till Sunday night, so everybody enjoy this one last giant link post.
Looks like Jason is running his own Google community at Crispynews, which uses a familiar voting-on-stories concept. Check it out.
Google Desktop ships with a warning only really visible when stacking the files in Windows Explorer. Cute.
Click fraud made the cover of BusinessWeek. Lots of exciting stuff in there. Kinda makes me wish I had a subscription.
Meanwhile, Newsweek had Marissa Mayer on the cover and nobody noticed for days. Ouch. Looks like one of those interesting Women in Power pieces. I’d like to see a cover story about old white guys who are changing the world.
Today was “OneWebDay”, when we were all supposed to get all flowery and write about how the internet has enriched our lives. Jeez. When did it become okay to invent days? I like the Talk Like A Pirate Day better.
I love this sign. Google is going to be a religion one day. Or the devil. Could go either way…
Google plans to put a Google Base search box above the results every time you do what appears to be a product search. Say ta-ta, Froogle.
Some online publishers are working together to create a universal way to tell Google and other search engine when to cache and not cache their content. Or, as Andy Beal says, they are looking to spend half a million dollars (more like $583,700) to build a robots.txt file. Their SEO is a genius, to have fooled all these idiots.
Bloglines introduced a nice mobile search option that also reformats linked pages on the fly, like Google Mobile does. The question is, can Bloglines’ RSS reader do this too?
What do Stanford students call themselves after they graduate?
Me: They call themselves Googlers.
Nice!
