My dad has more Twitter followers than your dad.
My dad has higher page rank than your dad. My dad has more blog subscribers than your dad. What else?
Not that I'm advocating Twitter bots but for aggregation purposes, this has some cool applications. Yahoo Pipes is something I have been meaning to play around with, I really need to spend some time with it.
I'm open sourcing this business plan of mine. Feel free to do with it as you see fit. You can read all the details here.
I'm pulling these together for a blog post I'm working on.
I've read lots of opinions ranging from good, bad and not so ugly.
What do you think of Twitter's Retweet functionality?
"How Twitter’s Retweet creates Pagerank for humans." Wow, math can make anything simultaneously more interesting and more mind numbing. In all seriousness and the math aside, you can see this has some pretty big implications.
I love post apocalyptic fiction. I love books that hypothesize how the civilization as we know it will end and what will come next. I read The Road last year and am interested to see how they pull it off as a movie.
These pictures have nothing to do with that except they spark that same line of imagination in me.
"Soon It Will Be Cheaper to Compute Than to Cache"
As storage gets cheaper, bandwidth gets better, browsers get faster and computers become more efficient it becomes necessary to store duplicate versions of data (in this case video) in different formats or versions. Basically extending this line of thinking all content will be stored in a common "raw" format, then when you need that content in a specific format or language or edited a certain way or excerpts of it, etc, you're computer calls for it within those specifications. All from the same data source.
This obviously has huge implications for multimedia, but imagine how search will be impacted and publishing. Huge implications both as a consumer, a producer and distributor.
