  • Grand old book party

    Didn’t you notice yet? McCain will do anything and say anything to be president. He say this him self in past this is my ambition to be president. What country first, he was stuck in Vietnam as hero because he didn’t think the war will last that long. What Sarah says about the 18 million Hilary democratic votes must be insulting to them. ...

  • The best use of the National Review's resources?

    Apparently the National Review has too little time to re-check its assumptions -- http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html The link goes to a series of pages dedicated to showcasing the various logos that Google's coders have put up since 1999. And it would be far-fetched to take the ''anti-American'' stance considering how a good regular number ...

  • Equal Access Requires Equal Information

    As the creator of a new website, I have a complaint about the SEO game. If the object is to create an equal playing field, why can't Google provide everyone with equal access to the rules of the game?

  • Drinking from the fire hose

    All Web content is not created equal, and trying to find the good stuff often requires wading through the bad. Even the use of RSS and news feeds doesn't stem the flow, and the amount of time required to find the few items that are really interesting is becoming daunting. The promise of the Semantic Web, and ongoing search optimization is not ...

  • Re: Wikipedia notoriously unreliable

    progressivebulldog: Any source where anyone can write about a given subject regardless of credentials and where outright disinformation can be the ''answer'' people are looking for is not to be trusted. It's likely that the majority of material on Wikipedia is fairly accurate but in order to use it as a source you have to be fairly ...

  • Wikitravel

    I have experienced many problems with wikitravel and would like to say that you really hit the nail on the head with this article. Frustrations with sites like wikitravel and World 66 were part of what caused me to start a company dedicated to travelers. As a company we hope to solve many of the problems you speak of in this article... We are ...

  • Video Search is HOT...is IT Too Hot?

    Are there too many video search engines? Which ones do you try and stick with? Besides Blinkx and Pixsy I really like VeZoom. I particularly like the customization features of MyVeZoom. Check it out for yourself.

  • Another search engine feature I'd like

    This is a little Unix-weenie-ish, but I think it would be great to be able to pipe the output of a Google search through grep. One example of a use for this: search for Joe Glotz, and then filter the results so that only the ones that reside on domain ''example.*'' appear. Another: search for termA, and filter the results so that termB must ...
