Jon Udell of Microsoft recently referred back to a quote from Sergey Brin, Google co-founder, who stated the following in response to a question about RDF and the Semantic Web:
“Look, putting angle brackets around things is not a technology, by itself. I’d rather make progress by having computers understand what humans write, than by forcing [...]

David Lee King wrote an interesting post last week that outlines all of the digital communities in which he participates. He entitled it “Participating in Digital Community, or Lots of Links to David.” I thought that was a good idea and so here goes similar information for me. It would make an interesting [...]

When it comes to the Internet, faster is better, just about always. I have been thinking a lot about this since reading a post about this issue in the Official Google Mobile Blog a few weeks ago. In that post the author wrote about how Google used analysis of their search logs to [...]

This weekend I got into a bread-baking craze.  My whole family loves bread and nothing — really, it’s true — beats good, homemade bread.  I’ve always enjoyed making it but the time spent doing that has been infrequent for several years.  We have an old bread machine that we’ve used for a long time and [...]

Several times over the past year or so, I have offered up criticisms of OCLC. OCLC is a staple of the library world, especially here in the U.S., but its reach is global and it is expanding all the time. The simplest or most concise way of expressing my criticisms is to say [...]

A few weeks ago I decided to give Google Adsense a try.  I put one small piece of advertising in a widget on the lower righthand column of FML, just to see what happened.  I have a lot of ambivalence about advertising.  Have I sold my soul to…Google?  I really don’t know what to think.  [...]
