A girl in Jay’s elevator told me her cellphone was stolen (”right out of my hands!”), and that the cops told her the kids who steal them get 40$ per cellphone.
That’s a lot! I have some old cellphones lying around. Could I get 40$ for them?
ranked aggregation
Sunday, February 5th, 2006robhyndman.com: “but also because ranked aggregation is kind of a holy grail in Web 2.0 right now - everyone is trying to figure out how to replace the human editor and make aggregation of quality content scalable.”
Social aggregation is another obvious candidate (let your friends help you find the good stuff). What you find interesting is different from what I find interesting, so ranking things by amount of comments, incoming links and such can only be part of the picture.

After I learnt basic PHP (I coded for a living for a while), I became an information architect, and never really had to code again. All my little projects didn’t need more than my basic PHP.
Since I’m working on Mefeedia.com though, I finally feel I’m becoming a better coder again. In the sense that I’m learning to really set up an object model, a db model and a set of actions on those, and keep that pretty separate from the service or website itself. I might play with Rails a bit in the future. If there is time for playing.
IA Summit - Architettura dell’Informazione
Saturday, February 4th, 2006IA Summit - Architettura dell’Informazione The Italian IA summit looks like it’ll be a great success. Emanuele told me they’re almost full, but since it’s FREE, he’s still accepting registrations because he’s not expecting everyone who registered to show up. So register soon if you want to go!
Mike Davidson: Lessons From The Roundabout SEO Test
Thursday, February 2nd, 2006Mike Davidson: Lessons From The Roundabout SEO Test: Mike made up a word (lodefizzle), tested it on Google, and got these conclusions:
- yes, you should use h1 tags and such
- using tables for layouts is not a problem
- you should have more or less valid html code
- and the final conclusion: “Although good semantics are somewhat valuable in optimization, simple things like proper titles, descriptive filenames, and incoming links are dramatically more important.”
Life With Alacrity: On Being an Angel
Wednesday, February 1st, 2006Life With Alacrity: On Being an Angel: “Thus when entrepreneurs complain that VCs will not invest in their company, it is often because the VCs can’t figure out how to invest a minimum of $25M and turn out at the end with $250M.”
Good thing that, for many internet projects, you don’t need VC’s. Pfew.
