Witness the Dawn of the Age of Infinite Data Harvesting
December 23rd, 2007 · No Comments
Google will use its ‘cloud’ to harvest all the data out there and wants to move into every field of human endeavor. A recent article in BusinessWeek discussed this idea:
As this concept spreads, it promises to expand Google’s footprint in industry far beyond search, media, and advertising, leading the giant into scientific research and perhaps into new businesses. In the process Google could become, in a sense, the world’s primary computer.

Why Martial Arts are the Best Choice for Webmasters or AnyBody Else Who Wishes to Stay Fit
December 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments
First and foremost: If you wish to succeed in life (and on the Web, if that is how you earn your bread), you should take care of your body. You cannot succeed if you are nailed to your keyboard 12 or even 15 hours a day. You may function in that manner for a certain period of time while you are young, but as time goes by, [Read more →]

December 18th, 2007 · No Comments
If you are thinking about launching a blog, and maybe earn some money from it, you should keep in mind the following:

Resistance is Futile. You Will Be Assimilated. Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Borg
December 16th, 2007 · No Comments
Google has just announced their intent to create a Wikipedia killer. Google’s Udi Manber stated the following:
There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share, and there are billions of people who can benefit from it. We believe that many do not share that knowledge today simply because it is not easy enough to do that. The challenge posed to us by Larry, Sergey and Eric was to find a way to help people share their knowledge. This is our main goal.
