Whoever created these guidelines obviously wasn’t scared of going into (pretty) details, my inner nerd is well impressed.#traininsights

Thanks to Kathryn Corrick for discovering them.

“I share the view that students who let social network style, like SMS (text) abbreviations, such as L8R, and emoticons (like smiley faces) slip into their more formal communications, run the risk of being viewed as poor communicators by very influential people, such as potential employers and graduate school review boards.”

How To: Backup And Search All Your Friends’ Tweets In Google Reader

Published on 20 August, 2009 in Links View Comments

I just set up an automatic backup of all 3000 of my friends’ Twitter messages and became able to search through their Twitter history two years into the past with just five minutes of easy clicking. Only two things are required: Dave Winer’s new Twitter OPML tool and a Google Reader account.

Taming the Information Monster

Published on 14 June, 2008 in Media+Tech & Writings View Comments

It seems that the big 4 [Microsoft, Intel, Google, IBM] are suffering from an overload of internal internet usage.

People are not working — they are emailing, twittering, facebooking, and googling, while at work — and the big information conglomerates are in need to do something about it.

Now these companies that created the big information beast will find ways to sell their solutions to other companies. Smart asses.

Google donates to Yahoo! [updated]

Published on 13 June, 2008 in Media+Tech & Writings View Comments

Big news this morning: 

Yahoo and arch rival Google said on Thursday they had entered a non-exclusive partnership on search advertising expected to add as much as $800 million in annual revenue.

This deal will give Yahoo! some money to breathe and will take Microsoft off their back. The real reason behind it is to give Yahoo! a bit more time to find a better partner and learn about my idea. 

In short: Adobe and Yahoo! should strike a winning deal. 

[I probably need to write a better proposal... now that time is on our side]

 

** Update **

Incremental Blogger suggests that “Yahoo should acquire AllTop.com along with Guy Kawasaki“. 

This is not a bad idea in its own right - directories are part of the DNA of Yahoo and Kawasaki does twits everyone with his AllTop evangelism. Advertising is maybe an answer, but its not the future. It could help Yahoo momentarily [like the Google donation], but it wouldn’t make it different and kicking.

We need something bigger here, something futuristic, something that will take Yahoo out of the miseries of Web 2.0 and into Web 3.0 [I'm afraid that Web 3.0 is going to be like World War III, but that's a different post].

Adobe, with their technological control over the future of the market, and with their stronghold of holding creative people in the balls, can trigger that move, and hey – every company in the world uses Adobe products. It  will give Yahoo the leverage they need, and a lot of it.

To my original post - Adobe + Yahoo = Web 3.0
