Gigaom: Did Google Just Declare War on Demand...
Over the past few months, there has been a growing chorus of criticism — much of it anecdotal, but coming from a number of respected technology observers — about Google’s increasingly useless search results. Now the web giant has responded to these criticisms in a blog post, saying it doesn’t believe its search is getting any worse (if anything, it claims results have improved), but noting...

Umair Haque / Bubblegeneration - A tale of two...
via bubblegeneration.com Excerpt from this very insightful blog post: So by now, you’ve heard endlessly about the Facebook/Goldman quasi-IPO. What is its larger significance? Consider, for a moment, a historical contrast. When Google IPO’d, it explicitly refused to play by Wall St’s rules—instead, issuing equity in a relatively open Dutch auction: “…Among...

Foodspotting - Zeig, was du isst

You might be sick of hearing this from me, but strongly believe that Facebook is the next Google. It took me a while to “get religion,” but now I have it.

Chatroulette - unfassbar komisch
I spent about 30 minutes on Friday night on Chatroulette (very NSFW). You push the start button and you’re instantly in a video chat with some random person. During my session, the average “chat” lasted about 5 seconds and I observed several people drinking malt liquor, two girls making out, many many guys who disconnected as soon as they saw I wasn’t female, several...

And best of all, it’s super healthy - it’s low sodium, zero calorie and zero fat. Compare that to real bacon! Finally, and this is no joke, it’s...
