Isn't the big news that Jaiku will be open sourced and...
With the open source Jaiku Engine project, organizations, groups and individuals will be able to roll-their-own microblogging services and deploy them on Google App Engine. The new Jaiku Engine will include support for OAuth, and we're excited about developers using this proven code as a starting point in creating a freely available and federated, open source microblogging platform.
Wow, does this mean finally there is a way to tell them of the bugs in there existing products?
Would finally like to be able to display more than the default number of images on the image search.
I cannot imagine an office full of people all gabbling at their PCs without going nuts.
Neither can I, but I for one hate searching/writing emails on my mobile phone. For this a voice interface would be ideal.
There are a lot of devices where using voice commands and receiving a voice response would be the best possible interface.
What always got me was that MSWord has all these built in styles e.g. Heading 1, Heading 2 etc which get turned to complete html font size mush when you use save as html AND this goes for every other single convertor I've used.
Why not use these to convert to structured html, eg h1 h2 etc?
This is why back in 1998 in a previous company (i was lead developer in a publishing company) we had to build our own - which is still being used by some of my current clients.
There are a number of problems with it; its always one of those "solutions" that I've always meant to get back to, correct all the issues and publish it online.
If the documents you use are heavily structured using the built in styles then it maybe of some use to you.
Its basically a VB (yuk) automation on Word. We had to use Powerpoint to get all the images out as gifs (yuk again), and we had to write a really interesting algorithm to get out tables as html rather than the awful images some convertors do.
Maybe you could get in contact if you're interested.

Jacob Neilsen was on the advisory board at google, right back in the early days before they had advertising etc.

He was the reason I started using google, back in 1999.
He is a largely reason google is so simple to use. With the clean homepage, simple search results, the goooooogle page navigation etc.
So, I think his comments are worthy of more than just a passing thought.
wikipedia is a Anarchic system.

But of course Anarchism has been given a bad name by reinventing the actual meaning of the word.
Like cynic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynics
and many others.
