Google's usefulness is also being expanded by third party developers using their APIs to develop kitschy hits such as Google Fight and Googlism. But there are useful apps too... A recent release is Copyscape which uses Google to find people who have plagiarized your web content. It's from the same guys as Google Alert and works like magic. I reckon it won't be long (after the IPO?) before Google expand their APIs a lot further, to make image, news and group searching available to third party apps. Then things will get really interesting.

Re:"Outsourcing" by MillionthMonkey · 2004-02-17 17:48 · Score: 1 · on Indian Techies Answer About 'Onshore Insourcing'

This is a pretty stupid comment. Outsourcing and offshoring are different things.

Hmmm... I was making an observation about current usage and you come back with an argument ad lexicon?

Outsourcing is when a company subcontracts the work... [explanation of "outsourcing" and "offshoring"]

Yes, I have a dictionary too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and charitably guess that English is your second language? There is a subtle distinction between a word's definition and what its current usage might be. A dictionary is the reference for a definition, and reflects common usage of a word at the time the dictionary was written. Since most word definitions in dictionaries were written more than a few years ago, it is no surprise that usage may differ from the dictionary definition, especially for a word such as "outsourcing" that has taken on new meaning recently. And let's be realistic. Despite what the dictionary says, when an American technology worker in 2004 loses his job because of "outsourcing", everyone knows what just happened.

Technically we should say "offshoring" but that word is relatively unknown.

Please stop modding up ignorance as "Insightful."

One of the hallmarks of a /. newbie: scolding the moderators and telling them how they should be doing their job. One soon learns not to do that!
