Is Yahoo double counting searches for market share ?

Yahoo Classic  mail users should notice a small change. Instead of search email function, they have just a search web function. Thus when you search your inbox, it will be called a web search for Yahoo.Or you end up doing a free search.

Dont belive me, check your yahoo inbox now.

Oh Jerry, the things  you need to do,

to get the monkeys off your back in Yahoo

Testing the server limits

A Break from Reading Blogs

 

Just doing whether server  can support video traffic and how good is wordpress for inserting  you tube content.

This is a prelude to business content in a video format.

 

Update – Embedded HTML  to You Tube video didnt work (see link from A break from Reading Blogs). I either need to review file ,folder properties on my server or it past the HTML embed code using video option of WordPress 2.5 in a different manner. Or it wont work till experimentation with streaming video begins.

So I posted the video on www.analyticbridge.com . Thats a fun site for analytics related people with networking, forums,recruiters,books,video tutorials, groups of lots of kinds……its based on the ning.com format but the founder spends so much energy in it it is upto 2400 members now. 2400 member many to many social networking for data mining and analytics professionals is a real gem.

Modified Ohri Framework

 

Some time back, I had created a framework for data mining through on demand cloud computing. This is the next version- it is free to use for all, with only authorship credit back to me…………..
 
It tries to do away with fixed server ,desktop costs AND fixed software costs in softwares which are used for data mining ,stats and analytics and have huge huge per CPU count annual license fees

 

The modified Ohri Framework tries to mash the following

 

0) HTTPS rather than HTTP

1) Encryption and Compression Software for data transfer (like PGP)

2) Open source stats package like R in cloud computer (like Amazon EC2 or Rightscale  with hadoop)

3) GUI to make it easy to use (like Rattle GUI and PMML Package)

4) A Data Mining Open Source Package (like Rapid Miner or Splunk)

5) RIA Graphics (like Silverlight )

6) Secure Output to cloud computing devices (like Google Docs)

7) Billing or Priced at simple cost plus X % (where simple cost can be like 0.85 cent /per instance hour or more depending on usage and X should not be more than 15 %)

8) Open source sharing of all code to ensure community sandboxing

 

Intention is to remove fixed computing costs of servers and desktops to normal PC’s (Ubuntu Linux ) with (Firefox or IE Explorer ) access to secure data mining on demand .

On tap demand mining to anyone in the world without going for the big license purchases/renewals (software expenses) or big hardware purchases (which become obsolete in 2-3 years).

 

 

The First Amendment

How would America’s founding fathers adopt the first amendment to email groups, or wikis or social networks or spam. or to Non -Americans in the same email groups -wikis -social networks.

Or to search engines ,directary services,privacy advocates or bloggers. or to Websites.

Email vs RSS – Free Yourself

I just edited most of my groups to make sure I see them on the web only . The result- a clean inbox which is actually a relaxing thing for many of us. I then used RSS button to subscribe to posts.

Just a small change in habit from reading email to reading RSS can lead to following-

1) Lesser chance of emails being lost or classified as spam

2)Your email address is less public

3) You can save a lot of time, as you can move quickly from one post to another in RSS . But not in email.

4) Lastly emails in public groups even if very good people are in it come under Google or Other Search Engine Spiders. So anyone can know details like your phone number etc from a Search Engine search.Online records are almost for ever.

 See a great example of Linked question on bad email mistakes while writing http://www.linkedin.com/answers/marketing-sales/writing-editing/MAR_WED/303856-11437468

RSS is Really Simple Stupid…..actually its really some thing else . So experiment with the RSS feed today.

 

ps (reading RSS is safer as you can go and edit your comment on a blog but probably cant do that to an email to a whole email group)
