It is using a new tool called Silverlight and its quite cool.
Watch the Silverlight space soon.
Its by a very old company called Microsoft from the 80’s
(like when people had long curly hair).
If Google leads text mining, why doesnt it move in the numerical data mining space occupied by BI softwares.
And make them free /ad supported
Why it doesnt acquire some company which aggregates and sells published content, as these are the primary users of Google especially in Paid business research.
Update- Google doesnot want to own content (as per spokesman). They just own everything else (You tube,blogspot,Knol etc etc)
Facebook now uses a feedback loop, or user feedback on targeted graphical ads.
It does make more sense
than Google’s very good but still algorithmic arrogance 🙂

They are extensive, and Steve (Ballmer not Jobs) is using most of the 44 Billion he saved (thanks to Jerry ‘s merry ways) to create savvy tools to match Google in anything they make and more.

Linkedin measures this as Tier 1, 2 connections Facebook measures this as mutual and total connections, but sub communities like game cartels especially in Facebook, or Groups on Linkedin – These also need measurement for enhancement?
Nothing wrong with linear measurement tools- they are simplistic and good decision assisters.

Here’s my new profile– Its like it just re designed by some Apple guy (what is Apple doing that they are keeping secret…anything at all in social networking)
Mark Zuckenberg will have that 15 billion Dollar valuation yet, even if he has to slay all the Open Social Networks put together. No wonder MS and FB are coming closer…enemy of enemy of my friend and all that.
Besides the fact that founders of Microsoft and Facebook are Harvard droputs.
That’s my new business plan. Get into Harvard, be the founder of a new company, drop out.
Statistically it should work !Or get in Stanford and drop out .
