MSN Search

MSN just removed the beta from their search site and I must say that they’ve put together an impressive package. Ask it a question. When did world war II begin? It answers and gives you relevant webpages below the answer. Their search builder will help a novice create complicated queries that I only could do with Google after reading Google Hacks and acquiring tons of experience.

Google Video

Now this development I like. Google has released their index for video and I can search for the information the TV has to offer without taking time to watch it.

Apparently, Google is releasing an API for AdWords. This is a big deal. Lots of potential to automate advertising. I foresee many business building up around this API.

Google Stops Content
Filed Under Search Engine Marketing, Technology | Comments Off on Google Stops Content
Google has developed a way to stop content spamming, but it sounds like throwing out the baby with the bath water. Links are good. They tell us about content that’s important. I don’t like the approach personally.
I too want to be rid of content spamming, but at what price? I think removing blog comments altogether seems like too high a price.

Redhat Founder Bob Young and LuLu
Filed Under Business Ideas, Resources, Principles, etc., Technology | Comments Off on Redhat Founder Bob Young and LuLu
I really like what Bob Young is doing with LuLu. It’s an innovative print on demand company. It really opens doors for authors to share their works on a small scale before heading to the offset press. They explicitly call themselves a technology company and NOT a publishing company.
The idea is picking up momentum. I’m seeing many companies popping up with publish on demand businesses. Some of them are rip off companies luring authors who think they’ll get some marketing out of it (they do print books, but they can’t get a book to succeed through their efforts). Others are legitimate
Print on demand has really begun to interest me as we’ve developed our popular Unforgettable Biography giving people a powerful way to write a biography online.
It’s a perfect time to be alive. Even as we developed the product, hard bound books on a small scale became available in Utah and we were one of the company’s first clients.

Yahoo just released Desktop search to compete with Google. It seems to be based on X1 but it’s free.

Great Logos – Great Website Design
Filed Under Business Ideas, Resources, Principles, etc., Technology | Comments Off on Great Logos – Great Website Design
About a year ago, I heard the founder of www.logoworks.com speak and really liked his business model for logos. He realized that most people pay a designer or firm to do their logo or website and when they don’t like the outcome, the same artist does the second draft. What if you don’t like the artist’s style? It doesn’t matter how many drafts you do.
LogoWorks gives you drafts from different artists with different styles. You choose which style you like. He’s expanding into websites. I’ve used their services for different projects and they’ve always done a good job (I can’t believe they’ve managed to do it for $265).
